On February 15th, Vonage collaborated with Datadog Japan for our first developers' meetup at WeWork Tokyo Square Garden. Several developers, engineers, and startups from the communities were invited. The event was focused on introducing Vonage APIs and Datadog services. It was also a time to meet with developers and the WeWork community in Tokyo.

The attendees talked about their projects, interests, and applications while learning about what we do during the event. It was a good networking session with delicious tacos sponsored by WeWork Japan and a colour-matching fun time with Vonage and Datadog socks.
