I'm a New Relic user, and looking for a cheaper managed monitoring solution. I've checked Datadog but their pricing is a bit outrageous. Anyone has any other

  Doesn't elastic have APM tools? I think a bunch of them open source as well.

  Following because I actually started browsing APM software this week. I haven’t used it in 5 or more years... seems the same players, except with higher prices (notice how every price is now “contact me”) Are there any reasonable APM software that can monitor a small k8s cluster for a few hundred a month? I built my own really simple “free” APM, but would rather buy something than sink 100 more hours into it. But I’m not spending $7,000 a month to monitor a handful of servers. Don’t need 6 billion graphs and monitors like data dog does

  We use Dynatrace at my dayjob, it’s not “cheap” by any means but it’s cheaper than New Relic and hot damn does it work nicely with kubernetes. Costs something in the ballpark of $75-70/mo per 16GB of RAM on monitored system, user monitoring and synthetics cost extra. It’s a tool that easily saves us the ~15K/yr spend we have with them - I still feel like we are getting fleeced a bit but I review the field annually and it’s still the best tool from a value perspective. Unless you have need to purchase 50+ host units there’s not really any contract discount, so you can try out their pay-as-you-go offering and see if it works for you.
