Case Study: Porsche Informatik achieves 99.5% application availability and consolidates monitoring with Datadog

Porsche Informatik accelerates Volkswagen Group’s digital transformation with help from Datadog

Porsche Informatik, a Porsche Holding Salzburg subsidiary, develops and operates the software that powers customer-facing services for Volkswagen Group brands (dealerships, financing, ecommerce, parts, and logistics). As the company adopted cloud services, its monitoring environment became fragmented across multiple tools, limiting visibility into performance and threatening its goal of 99.5% application availability and reliable customer experiences.

Porsche Informatik consolidated its tooling onto Datadog to provide unified observability across cloud and on‑prem systems—covering APM, logs, RUM, database and infrastructure monitoring, and synthetics. The switch replaced 10 separate tools, put performance data in the hands of 900+ employees, accelerated troubleshooting and reduced MTTR, improved responsiveness and scalability, and helped the company maintain 99.5% availability while boosting DevOps agility and protecting customer experience.
