Datadog launches product to prevent unexpected cloud object storage spend

Datadog has launched Storage Management, which aims to help teams eliminate waste and prevent unexpected cloud object storage spend.

The new product is now generally available for Amazon S3, with previews available for Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage.

Datadog Storage Management provides insights into cloud object storage at the bucket and prefix levels across billions of objects. With it, teams can catch anomalies in storage growth and access patterns, analyse storage behaviour in context, and act on specific, automated recommendations to reduce cloud storage spend faster.

The product complements Datadog’s Cloud Cost Management with a focus on object storage, delivering visibility into usage, cost trends and optimisation opportunities.  

“For companies building AI products, data storage and processing is consistently the third-highest contributor to cost – greater than expenses for AI model training and inferencing,” said Yrieix Garnier, VP of product at Datadog.

“With Datadog Storage Management, teams are empowered to optimise cloud storage costs and prevent unexpected spend. By rightsizing these costs, companies can keep their focus on building better products and bringing them to market.”

2025 has seen Datadog has launched its full range of products and services on the AWS Asia-Pacific (Sydney) Region; released new security capabilities targeting the emerging threat landscape created by AI workloads; and revealed plans to establish its first Australian data centre.
