Datadog
A cloud-application observability and security SaaS positioned as a usage-based demand layer: the more customers run on cloud and AI, the more monitoring they consume. Its 2025 revenue of $3.43B (+28%) across 32,700 customers is tied directly to expanding AI workloads, and 5,500+ customers already run AI observability that tracks LLM and AI usage, forming the next growth axis. Because the platform itself runs on cloud such as AWS, its cost and infrastructure depend on that layer — so the watch points are AI-monitoring penetration and the cloud-consumption cycle.

Revenue from
- AI observability (LLM monitoring) High confidence
AI observability monitoring LLM and AI usage (5,500+ customers). - Enterprises (cloud observability SaaS) High confidence

Pays to
- Amazon Medium confidence
Runs the SaaS on public cloud such as AWS — a structural dependency of infrastructure and cost on cloud. - NVIDIA Low confidence

YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance
A usage-based demand node whose monitoring revenue grows as customers consume more cloud and AI. The 2025 +28% growth is driven by the core app/infra monitoring plus a new leg — AI observability now adopted by 5,500+ customers. The key risks are inherent to the consumption model: if customers' cloud spend slows, revenue slows immediately, and the platform depends on AWS/cloud for its cost base. Upstream on the graph sit NVIDIA GPUs (running the AI models) and AWS (the hosting platform), and rising AI workloads are the path that pushes demand into this node.
