+# DataDog Client JS
+
+This is an opinionated client for integrating with DataDog directly for logging and metrics. 
+This package is designed to be a wrapper for simplifying the instantiation of existing package implementations.
+
+[![Codacy Badge](https://app.codacy.com/project/badge/Grade/51830d3cc410417c94543df82dc09a6f)](https://app.codacy.com/gh/gymshark/datadog-client-js/dashboard?utm_source=gh&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Badge_grade)
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Node 18.x or higher
+* Datadog API and App Key
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @gymshark/datadog-client
+```
+or
+```bash
+yarn add @gymshark/datadog-client
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Logger Client
+The logging client returns [winston](https://www.npmjs.com/package/winston) logging client that includes a HTTP transport for sending logs to DataDog.
+Some of the winston logger options are preset to ensure that logs are sent to DataDog in a JSON format, but any of the winston configuration can be overridden.
+
+
+```javascript
+
+```
+
+
+#### Logger Options
+
+### Metric Client
+The metric client instantiation either returns [datadog-metrics](https://www.npmjs.com/package/datadog-metrics) metric client or if sampling is enabled, it will return a no-op client that will not send metrics to DataDog.
+
+```javascript
+
+```
+
+#### Metric Options
