✨ What is DatadOps?

A lightweight Claude Code plugin that bundles the official Datadog MCP server configuration and adds intelligent workflows on top of it. The official server provides access to raw Datadog data; DatadOps orchestrates that data into complete operational workflows.

🆚 Official MCP Server vs DatadOps

📊 Usage Examples

Incident Response

User: "Payment service is returning 500 errors. Help me investigate."

DatadOps Response:
🚨 INCIDENT ANALYSIS - Payment Service

SEVERITY: HIGH (Customer Impact Detected)
DURATION: 23 minutes (since 14:37 UTC)

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS:
• Database connection pool exhaustion (95% utilization)
• Spike in payment processing requests (+300% vs baseline)
• Payment gateway API latency increased to 2.4s (baseline: 200ms)

IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Scale payment service to 6 instances (currently 3)
2. Increase DB connection pool from 20→40
3. Enable circuit breaker for payment gateway

IMPACT:
• ~1,200 affected transactions
• Payment success rate: 45% (baseline: 99.2%)
• Estimated revenue impact: $15K/hour

MONITORING:
• payment.success_rate < 95%: Page oncall
• db.connections > 90%: Auto-scale

Performance Investigation

User: "Checkout service is slow. What's the bottleneck?"

DatadOps Response:
🔍 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS - Checkout Service

PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION: 340ms → 1.2s (P95 latency)

BOTTLENECK BREAKDOWN:
1. 🥇 Database queries: 420ms (35% of total)
   - Order validation: 180ms (missing index on user_id)
   - Inventory check: 240ms (N+1 query pattern)

2. 🥈 External API calls: 380ms (32% of total)
   - Payment gateway: 280ms (network latency)
   - Inventory service: 100ms (within SLA)

3. 🥉 Application logic: 260ms (22% of total)
   - Price calculation: 180ms (inefficient algorithm)

OPTIMIZATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
• HIGH IMPACT: Add index on orders(user_id) → -180ms
• MEDIUM IMPACT: Batch inventory queries → -150ms  
• LOW IMPACT: Cache price calculations → -100ms

ESTIMATED IMPROVEMENT: 1.2s → 590ms (51% faster)

Deployment Health Check

User: "Validate the checkout-service v2.1.4 deployment."

DatadOps Response:
📋 DEPLOYMENT HEALTH - Checkout Service v2.1.4

OVERALL HEALTH SCORE: 92/100 ✅ HEALTHY
