Reviewer scorecard
“Serverless-specific observability that understood Lambda, Workers, and Vercel. Now part of Cloudflare's platform.”
“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 acquisition validates the approach. Serverless needs purpose-built observability, not adapted APM tools.”
“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.”
“Observability built into the platform (Cloudflare, Vercel) rather than bolted on is the right direction.”
“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.”
