Case Study: Mercado Libre achieves operational visibility for all development teams with Datadog

Achieving operational visibility for all development teams

MercadoLibre, Latin America’s largest online marketplace, runs some 600 applications across about 15,000 VMs, each managed by independent development teams. The company’s patchwork of open-source monitoring tools couldn’t correlate telemetry across its dynamic hybrid cloud, leaving teams with limited visibility, slow troubleshooting, and frequent operational issues.

By adopting Datadog’s turn‑key integrations and multidimensional metrics (with custom StatsD/API feeds), MercadoLibre achieved real‑time, unified monitoring across AWS and on‑prem systems. The platform delivered dramatically faster, more accurate root‑cause analysis, improved collaboration and accountability across teams, and proactive capacity and performance optimization that scales with their infrastructure.
