Datadog is the leading cloud observability platform — metrics, logs, traces, RUM, security, and more. Incredibly powerful but the bill can be shocking at scale.
Reviewer scorecard
“The serverless standard. Event sources, layers, and container image support cover every use case.”
“Best-in-class observability. APM, logs, and metrics in one place with excellent correlation. Worth every penny for production systems.”
“Cold starts have improved dramatically. For event-driven workloads, Lambda's pricing model is unbeatable.”
“The pricing model is designed to surprise you. Custom metrics, log ingestion, and APM spans add up to terrifying bills.”
“Serverless is the default compute model. Lambda's ecosystem and AWS integration ensure its dominance.”
“Datadog's land-and-expand across security, CI, and database monitoring makes them the observability platform to beat.”
