How to connect Datadog to PostgreSQL
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Datadog account with repository access
- An active PostgreSQL account with read/write permissions
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate Datadog
Click "Add Connection" and select Datadog from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Datadog's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.
Authenticate PostgreSQL
Same process for PostgreSQL. Click "Add Connection," select PostgreSQL, and authorize access. Grant Arahi read/write access to your database collections and records. You specify which databases and collections the integration can use.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new commit pushed in datadog or new record created in postgresql. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: insert record in postgresql. Map the data fields between Datadog and PostgreSQL so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Datadog and PostgreSQL. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
Why connect Datadog and PostgreSQL?
Manually moving data between Datadog and PostgreSQL is error-prone and eats into your team's productive hours. Connecting them through Arahi eliminates that overhead — events in one app trigger actions in the other automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about connecting Datadog and PostgreSQL.
How do I connect Datadog to PostgreSQL?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Datadog and PostgreSQL via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing developer tools events to databases actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Datadog and PostgreSQL?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Datadog events to PostgreSQL actions, trigger PostgreSQL updates when Datadog data changes, create PostgreSQL records from Datadog events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Datadog and PostgreSQL integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Datadog-to-PostgreSQL workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Datadog data secure when connected to PostgreSQL?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Datadog or PostgreSQL passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your developer tools data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Datadog and PostgreSQL?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Datadog or PostgreSQL. For example, create a workflow where Datadog events update PostgreSQL, and a separate one where PostgreSQL changes sync back to Datadog. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Datadog and PostgreSQL?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Datadog and PostgreSQL, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
