Datadog CDK Python Example

Use this example Python stack to try out the datadog-cdk-constructs v2 library for Step Functions.

Getting Started

1. Get a Datadog API key to send monitoring data (Datadog API keys documentation).
2. Run export DD_API_KEY=<DATADOG_API_KEY> to set the Datadog API key in your shell session.
3. Set up Datadog forwarder (Datadog Forwarder documentation).
4. Run export DD_FORWARDER_ARN=<DD_FORWARDER_ARN> to set the Datadog forwarder ARN in your shell session.
5. Run virtualenv env to create a virtual environment.
6. Run source env/bin/activate to activate the virtual environment.
7. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies.
8. Run cdk synth to synthesize the CloudFormation template.
9. Run cdk diff to see the resource and permission changes that are made.
10. Run cdk deploy to deploy the stack to AWS.
11. Invoke your Step Function and look for them in Datadog Serverless Monitoring.
