Story
Inside Ahold Delhaize, incident management used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer staples groups working out of the Netherlands. On-call rotations needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Ahold Delhaize uses Security Monitoring from Datadog as the working layer for on-call response. Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications. The practical change is simple: incident management has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Ahold Delhaize gets from Datadog is a durable place to run incident management and a way for on-call rotations to see the same on-call response at the same time.
