Materials Project of Berkeley Lab Uses Datadog Cloud Monitoring to Simplify Observability on AWS

The Materials Project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) migrated its web and API infrastructure to AWS and improved monitoring by using solutions from AWS Public Sector Partner Datadog. It calculates fundamental material properties to help scientists design and synthesize materials for their applications.

The project wanted to have more insight into usage while scaling rapidly to meet user needs. The organization used cloud monitoring tools from Datadog to track the usage of its AWS services, including Amazon VPC and AWS Fargate, and fine-tune its offering.
