I'm building a one-man SaaS and I'm currently shopping for a hosted monitoring service. Got the free trial of Grafana Cloud but I'm not a fan of their products in general. I know Prometheus, I have used DataDog in the past but seems crazy expensive spread thin with 1001 features.
What's a good all-in-one cloud monitoring solution that might optionally deal with logs as well?
Log monitoring is not actually a priority at this stage, I just want something to track metrics, chart them and to alert me when the servers are on fire.
Something open-source adjacent and not crazily expensive would be best. As I said I know Prometheus, but for some reason it's so flexible and free form I really do not enjoy using it.
- ChrisCooney 4y agoCheck out Coralogix! It comes in at a fraction of the price of DataDog (typically a 40-70% cost reduction for migrating customers), no service tiering (so you instantly get support, managed onboarding etc) with a complete, end to end, open source experience (even archived logs are stored in Parquet). For your use case, Coralogix is awesome. It comes with a managed Grafana instance, if you wish to use that interface, or a custom dashboarding solution, metric driven alarms, release tagging, and much more.
