Datadog went public on Thursday, and CEO Olivier Pomel talks about his priorities in hiring and customer experience as it takes on IBM, HP, and more.

However, Pomel says that he's not especially worried: As the cloud computing market continues to grow, so too will demand for DataDog's services, he says — DataDog is especially well-suited to helping users track and improve the performance of software running in the cloud.

Pomel says that Datadog has a different approach to its competitors, as well. He says that its software is easy to use, such that any customer can pick it up and experiment with how best to use it.Shardul Shah, partner at Index Ventures and a Datadog board member, says that although the company has grown, two big things have stayed the same.

Shah says that one challenge companies face as they grow is"not sticking to their vision," but he's not worried about Datadog.
