In their words
“Critical Cloud became an extension of our team at a crucial moment. Their Datadog and cloud expertise gave us confidence and delivered a seamless migration.”
— Drew Berry, CTO, OPX
Customer
OPX provides a platform for operational excellence, helping organisations streamline workflows and deliver measurable results.
Challenge
As OPX scaled its platform and migrated from Heroku to Azure, the team needed enterprise-grade observability to protect performance, security, and resilience—without pulling engineers into constant firefighting.
What we did
- Performed an independent architecture assessment to identify risks and gaps.
- Deployed Datadog for infrastructure monitoring, log aggregation, APM, and security monitoring.
- Integrated Datadog with Azure and Cloudflare for full‑stack visibility.
- Leveraged Datadog for Startups to accelerate adoption of enterprise-grade features.
Results
Faster incident response
AIOps-enabled workflows improved response and resolution speed.
Less noise, more focus
Proactive monitoring reduced alert noise and freed engineers to focus on product innovation.
