Using Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams and Amazon Data Firehose, you can get CloudWatch metrics into Datadog with only a two to three minute latency. This is significantly faster than Datadog's default API polling approach, which provides updated metrics every 10 minutes. You can learn more about the API polling approach in the [Cloud Metric Delay documentation][1].

Further, the CloudWatch API only offers a metric-by-metric crawl to pull data. The CloudWatch APIs have a rate limit that varies based on the combination of authentication credentials, region, and service. Metrics are made available by AWS dependent on the account level. For example, if you are paying for *detailed metrics* within AWS, they are available more quickly. This level of service for detailed metrics also applies to granularity, with some metrics being available per minute and others per five minutes.

On your selected [Datadog site][1] ({{< region-param key="dd_site_name" >}}), you can optionally configure Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams and Amazon Data Firehose to get CloudWatch metrics into Datadog faster with a 2-3 minute latency. Visit the [documentation on metric streaming][2] to learn more about this approach.
