How Datadog built a universal machine tool for Claude Code
At Datadog, 90% of engineers adopted AI coding tools for production work in the last four months, with Claude Code driving two-thirds of that usage. As sessions grew more ambitious, the reusable tools they produced — for verification, debugging, orchestration — sprawled into unmaintainable one-offs. Sesh Nalla, VP of Engineering, shares how Datadog built Temper: a constrained framework that produces secure, reusable tools that compound across sessions and teams instead.
