Key Terms

hipaa, role-based access controls (rbac), runbooks, telemetry

4 terms

hipaa regulatory

"Designed for enterprise scale, Bits AI SRE supports HIPAA-regulated workloads"

A U.S. law that sets rules for keeping individuals’ health information private and secure, and for how that information can be shared. Think of it as a mandatory lock-and-key system for medical records that hospitals, insurers, and tech vendors must use. Investors care because failing to follow these rules can lead to big fines, costly remediation, loss of business access to patient data, and reputational damage that can hurt a company’s finances and growth prospects.

role-based access controls (rbac) technical

"supports HIPAA-regulated workloads, includes role-based access controls (RBAC)"

Role-based access controls (RBAC) are a system that gives people digital permissions based on their job roles, so employees only see and change the files and systems they need—like giving keys that open only certain rooms in an office. For investors, RBAC matters because it reduces the risk of data breaches, regulatory fines, and operational mistakes, protecting a company’s value and reputation by keeping sensitive information and critical systems better guarded.

runbooks technical

"Bits AI SRE rapidly analyzes runbooks, telemetry, and more"

Runbooks are step‑by‑step instruction manuals teams use to operate systems and respond to incidents, documenting who does what, in what order, and which checks to make. For investors, well‑maintained runbooks reduce the risk of costly outages, speed recovery when things go wrong, and signal disciplined operations and compliance — like a clear recipe that keeps a kitchen running smoothly under pressure.

telemetry technical

"an AI agent aware of telemetry, architecture, and organizational context"

Telemetry is the automatic collection and transmission of measurements from remote devices, systems, or patients to a central system for monitoring and analysis—like a car sending engine, speed and location data back to a dashboard. For investors it matters because telemetry provides real-time evidence of product performance, safety and user behavior, helping assess revenue potential, operational risk, regulatory compliance and whether a product is meeting market demand.

Bits AI SRE is an on-call 24/7 agent that autonomously investigates alerts and surfaces the fastest path to remediation

Las Vegas, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - December 2, 2025) - Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, has launched Bits AI SRE, an AI agent aware of telemetry, architecture, and organizational context that investigates alerts and surfaces action able root cause in minutes, giving engineers the information they need to confidently resolve incidents faster, save engineering hours, and reduce end-user and business impact. Unveiled at DASH in Limited Availability, Bits AI SRE is part of Datadog's Bits AI, a suite of AI capabilities that works autonomously across critical monitoring, development, and security workflows to help teams resolve application issues in real time.

Incident response is a high-stakes process for every digital business. When production issues occur, every second of downtime increases the risk of losing customer trust. The challenge is exacerbated as root causes become harder to find amid increasing fragmentation across systems and organizations. Although many teams are eager to adopt AI-powered agents to overcome this burden, point solutions struggle to access and understand the scale and complexity of real production systems.

Powered by the full breadth and depth of the Datadog platform's data, Bits AI SRE provides an unmatched understanding of organizations' systems to identify and resolve alerts fast. When an alert fires, Bits AI SRE rapidly analyzes runbooks, telemetry, and more, to separate signal from noise and uncover hypothetical root causes. It validates its own findings, identifies a final conclusion, and delivers that conclusion directly to third-party collaboration tools-all before on-call responders even log in.

What used to take hours to troubleshoot manually, can now be done in minutes autonomously by Bits AI SRE, representing a step toward a future where engineers can focus less on managing incidents and more on building resilient systems.

Designed for enterprise scale, Bits AI SRE supports HIPAA-regulated workloads, includes role-based access controls (RBAC), and features enterprise contracts with trusted AI partners-ensuring organizations adopt AI with confidence and control.

"This launch represents a pivotal expansion of Datadog's AI strategy as our first generally available AI agent, and signals a new phase of intelligent, automated reliability," said Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog. "Bits AI SRE allows companies to mitigate issues faster, reduce customer impact, and adopt AI safely. It has already been tested against more than 2,000 customer environments, including both global enterprises and fast-growing start-ups with a diverse range of production environments. Tens of thousands of investigations have run to date, from routine alerts to high-severity incidents, with organizations already reporting positive outcomes. This reflects the tangible and immediate value, tied directly to operational and business outcomes, that we are delivering."

"During an incident, the first five minutes are critical. Bits AI helps us cut through the noise by instantly surfacing the right context and correlations across our systems," said Thiyagarajan Anandan, Senior Engineering Manager at Uber Freight. "With smart tagging and naming, it automatically guides engineers to the right information, reducing cognitive load and giving us clarity and control when it matters most."

"With Bits AI SRE being on-call 24/7 for us, MTTR for our services have improved significantly," said Andrew Seok Ju Kim, Data Engineer at DelightRoom. "For most cases, the investigation is already taken care of well before our engineers sit down and open their laptops to assess the issue."

Bits AI SRE is the first of three AI agents unveiled at DASH that is Generally Available to all Datadog users. For more information, visit: https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/bits-ai-sre/.
