pulumi-datadog
A Pulumi package for creating and managing Datadog resources.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. Low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing make it a safe choice. Install it if you are already using Pulumi and want to manage Datadog resources as code; skip it if you use a different IaC tool or prefer the Datadog UI for configuration.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Pulumi CLI installed first and valid Datadog API key and app key (via DATADOG_API_KEY and DATADOG_APP_KEY environment variables or configuration).
- Low install friction; pure Python wheel with four lightweight runtime dependencies (parver, pulumi, semver, typing-extensions).
- Active maintenance—last commit 2026-08-14, released 2026-07-30.

What it is and what it does
pulumi-datadog is a Pulumi resource provider that lets you define Datadog infrastructure as Python code within a Pulumi program. Instead of clicking through the Datadog UI or writing API calls by hand, you declare resources declaratively and let Pulumi handle creation, updates, and deletion. It integrates with Pulumi's state management and stack-based workflows, so your Datadog configuration lives alongside your cloud infrastructure.
The package requires the Pulumi CLI and valid Datadog credentials (API key and app key). It has four runtime dependencies: pulumi, parver, semver, and typing-extensions. It supports Python versions 3.9 and later, is actively maintained with recent commits, and carries no known vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Define Datadog monitors and alert policies as code, versioning them in Git alongside your infrastructure.
- Automate creation of dashboards and synthetic tests across multiple environments using Pulumi stacks.
- Manage Datadog resources in a multi-cloud setup where other infrastructure is already declared in Pulumi.
- Integrate Datadog configuration into CI/CD pipelines for repeatable, auditable deployments.
- Programmatically provision monitoring resources as part of infrastructure provisioning workflows.
