Problem

How would you capacity plan for a rapidly growing customer deployment and decide when to scale infrastructure for Datadog-based monitoring?

Provide a hands-on design using Datadog Infrastructure Monitoring, Metrics, Monitors, Service Management, and Observability Pipelines. Explain the telemetry required, forecasting method, scaling signals, alert thresholds, rollout process, cost controls, and failure recovery. Include an implementation outline with infrastructure-as-code, dashboards, and validation steps.
