Reviewer scorecard
“The dashboard ecosystem is unmatched. Prometheus + Grafana is the standard stack for infrastructure monitoring.”
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Open source keeps you honest on pricing. Grafana Cloud is competitive with Datadog at a fraction of the cost.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“The LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) is a credible open-source alternative to the entire Datadog suite.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
