## Overview
-Deploying features with LaunchDarkly is great, but it can be difficult to see
-the effects of these deployments on users' services or systems. Datadog's
-monitoring and analytics tools for modern DevOps teams allow their customers to
-observe the health of their systems over time. The LaunchDarkly integration with
-Datadog exposes LaunchDarkly events in context with events gathered by the
-Datadog agents. This makes it easier to reason about changes to customers'
-systems as a result of feature deployments. For example, if a feature gets
-deployed that causes a service to slow down, a DevOps engineer can see the cause
-within Datadog.
+The Datadog-LaunchDarkly integration allows you to see the effects of your LaunchDarkly feature deployments on your customer's services or systems. For instance, if a deployed feature causes a service to slow down, you would be able to see the cause within Datadog.
