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
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“Best-in-class observability. APM, logs, and metrics in one place with excellent correlation. Worth every penny for production systems.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“The pricing model is designed to surprise you. Custom metrics, log ingestion, and APM spans add up to terrifying bills.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
“Datadog's land-and-expand across security, CI, and database monitoring makes them the observability platform to beat.”
