What

Remove the :datadog_ci_integration feature flag

Owners

  • Team: ~"group::ecosystem"
  • Most appropriate slack channel to reach out to: #g_ecosystem
  • Best individual to reach out to: @AdrianLC

Expectations

What are we expecting to happen?

All users and projects have now access to a new integration with Datadog

What might happen if this goes wrong?

Integration forms could fail or the list page for integrations could crash.

The integration will not work if the rollout is not coordinated with Datadog's rollout

What can we monitor to detect problems with this?
