I was thinking of giving it a try, but why does it have Datadog as a prerequisite

> A Datadog account with API key. Go to Datadog website to create a new free account. In addition, create a new API key by navigating to Organization settings, then click on API keys, and create a new key.

I thin that prerequisite is only for that tutorial.

If I understood correctly, Odigos supports a bunch of observability backends and, instead of Datadog, you could use Jaeger, Splunk or Open Telemetry (for example).

This is not a requirement, sorry for the misleading documentation. We just rewritten everything and this bullet is probably a leftover from previous version of the docs. fixing it now.
