Recent reports from Reuters on July 17 suggest that Datadog is considering acquiring GitLab, although this has led to a decline in Datadog's shares. Analysts from Needham believe that while investors might see AWS or Google Cloud as more likely buyout candidates, a potential tie-up between GitLab and Datadog could be beneficial, preserving GitLab's cloud neutrality. However, some market observers express skepticism about the acquisition due to potential execution risks.
DDOG looks at everything. They are probably the most promiscuous Corp dev team in mid cap tech. While there is strategic logic, there is massive execution risk. Don’t think they do it. If they do buy GTLB…buy DT. MSFT partnership will print for them.
