Reviewer scorecard
“Serverless-specific observability that understood Lambda, Workers, and Vercel. Now part of Cloudflare's platform.”
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“The acquisition validates the approach. Serverless needs purpose-built observability, not adapted APM tools.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“Observability built into the platform (Cloudflare, Vercel) rather than bolted on is the right direction.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
