How Datadog uses Datadog to gain visibility into the Datadog user experience | Datadog

What this post added

This post details how Datadog's product design team uses Datadog's own Real User Monitoring (RUM), logs, and notebooks to gain visibility into the user experience of the Datadog platform. It provides three examples: selecting a monospace font by tracking actual loaded fonts via the CSS Font Loading API, updating the DraggablePane component by logging user interactions with minimize/maximize buttons and implementing double-click functionality, and expanding the input syntax for custom time frames in the DateRangePicker by analyzing user-entered custom inputs in Datadog Logs. The post highlights the use of RUM to verify the rollout of the new monospace font and the use of Datadog Logs to inform design decisions for UI components.
