Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Linamar spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Canada. Application health was splitting across regional habits. SREs and developers asked for a shared way to run production support without freezing local judgment.
Datadog (Log Management) is what they standardized on. Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications. Linamar uses it as the system of record for application health, with SREs and developers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
