Datadog is the leading cloud observability platform — metrics, logs, traces, RUM, security, and more. Incredibly powerful but the bill can be shocking at scale.

Pulumi lets you define infrastructure using TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, or Java instead of a domain-specific language. Real programming constructs for IaC.
Reviewer scorecard
“Best-in-class observability. APM, logs, and metrics in one place with excellent correlation. Worth every penny for production systems.”
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“The pricing model is designed to surprise you. Custom metrics, log ingestion, and APM spans add up to terrifying bills.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“Datadog's land-and-expand across security, CI, and database monitoring makes them the observability platform to beat.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
