Reviewer scorecard
“The dashboard ecosystem is unmatched. Prometheus + Grafana is the standard stack for infrastructure monitoring.”
“Essential for any production app. Source maps, breadcrumbs, and release tracking make debugging 10x faster.”
“Open source keeps you honest on pricing. Grafana Cloud is competitive with Datadog at a fraction of the cost.”
“The free tier is generous and the core error tracking is genuinely best-in-class. Session replay is a nice bonus.”
“The LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) is a credible open-source alternative to the entire Datadog suite.”
“Session replay lets you see exactly what users experienced before errors. Invaluable for debugging UI issues.”
