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
“Serverless-specific observability that understood Lambda, Workers, and Vercel. Now part of Cloudflare's platform.”
“Best-in-class observability. APM, logs, and metrics in one place with excellent correlation. Worth every penny for production systems.”
“The acquisition validates the approach. Serverless needs purpose-built observability, not adapted APM tools.”
“The pricing model is designed to surprise you. Custom metrics, log ingestion, and APM spans add up to terrifying bills.”
“Observability built into the platform (Cloudflare, Vercel) rather than bolted on is the right direction.”
“Datadog's land-and-expand across security, CI, and database monitoring makes them the observability platform to beat.”
