Developer Perspective

Serverless-specific observability that understood Lambda, Workers, and Vercel. Now part of Cloudflare's platform.

Reality Check

Ship

The acquisition validates the approach. Serverless needs purpose-built observability, not adapted APM tools.

The Futurist

Big Picture

Ship

Observability built into the platform (Cloudflare, Vercel) rather than bolted on is the right direction.

Sad it got acquired — it was one of the few observability tools that actually understood serverless cold starts

RIP Baselime as a standalone product — hope Cloudflare actually ships the observability features into Workers

Baselime was the only tool that made Lambda logs actually queryable — miss it already

Best serverless observability before the acquisition — Cloudflare should open-source what they're not shipping
