Actions & Remediations Learning Path
Follow this curated path to build foundational skills in automating actions and remediations with Datadog.
Through hands-on courses, you'll build self-serve operational apps with App Builder, connect them to third-party tools like GitHub, and create Workflow Automation pipelines that trigger on monitor alerts and security signals. Along the way, you'll work with the Action Catalog and Connections—tools shared across both products—to build workflows with conditional branching, multi-step remediations, and human-in-the-loop approval steps. By the end of the path, you'll know how to move from manually responding to signals in Datadog to triggering consistent, automated actions across your stack.
This path is designed for DevOps engineers, SREs, platform engineers, and security engineers who want to reduce manual toil, speed up incident response, and build scalable operational workflows without leaving Datadog. It is also well-suited for product managers who build or oversee internal tooling and want hands-on experience with how teams use App Builder and Workflow Automation across their organization.
You’ll learn how to do the following:
Getting Started with App Builder
Learn the basics of App Builder by creating an app using a blueprint. Set up a connection, add actions and components, and explore how App Builder helps teams take action directly from Datadog.
Build Self-Serve Apps with App Builder for Third-Party Integrations
Learn how to build a Datadog App Builder app that interacts with GitHub. Use tables, modals, and forms to create issues, list pull requests (PRs), and post comments on the PRs–all from your app.
Remediate Issues with Workflow Automation
Automate redundant, time-sensitive processes. Create workflows from scratch or using blueprints. Configure actions to automate tasks and communicate with teams and third-party services.
Automating Meaningful Actions with Datadog Workflow Automation
Learn how to automate security responses and operational remediation using Datadog Workflow Automation, from rolling back faulty deployments to maintaining tag hygiene and fixing cloud misconfigurations.
