Story
Blackstone grew on-call response faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, financials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. On-call rotations were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Datadog APM put incident management on Datadog. Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications. Blackstone keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so on-call rotations do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier incident management. On-call response is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join on-call rotations without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
