Theia

Reusable CDKTF modules for AWS service dashboards in Datadog.

Theia is a collection of ready-to-use CDK for Terraform modules that automatically create best-practice dashboards and monitors in Datadog for common AWS services like Lambda and RDS.

It’s designed to give teams production-ready observability with minimal setup, so you can spend less time wiring dashboards and more time shipping features.

---

What it does

• Out-of-the-box dashboards for supported AWS services.
• Curated metrics and widgets following observability best practices (latency, errors, saturation, throughput, cost).
• Optional monitors with sensible defaults to avoid alert fatigue.
• Tag-based queries so dashboards work across accounts, regions, and environments.

---

Why use it

Without Theia, every team has to reinvent the same dashboards and alerts for each service they own.
With Theia, you:

• Get consistent, high-quality dashboards in minutes.
• Reduce human error in dashboard setup.
• Keep everything as code for version control and reproducibility.

Example services covered

• AWS Lambda
• Amazon RDS

More services planned: API Gateway, ECS, DynamoDB, S3...
