Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“The deployment experience is unmatched. Git push → preview URL → merge → production. AI Gateway is a smart addition — route between AI providers without changing code.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“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.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
“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.”
