Reviewer scorecard
“Unlimited log ingestion changes how you think about logging. No more deciding what to keep. Query everything.”
“The deployment experience is unmatched. Git push → preview URL → merge → production. AI Gateway is a smart addition — route between AI providers without changing code.”
“The pricing model is radically simpler than Datadog. Ingest everything, pay for queries and retention.”
“At small scale it's nearly free and incredible. At high scale, costs can surprise you. Know your usage patterns and set budget alerts. The product itself is excellent.”
“Query-on-read architecture is the future of log management. Axiom's approach makes unlimited logging practical.”
“Vercel is building the cloud for the AI era — AI Gateway, Workflow DevKit, Edge Functions. They're not just a hosting platform, they're the application platform.”
