APM and metrics

31 services

APM and metrics tools collect performance data from servers, containers and application code: request traces, CPU and memory, slow queries and custom metrics. General platforms such as Datadog, New Relic and Grafana Cloud cover most stacks, while narrower tools target one runtime, like Skylight and DeadBro for Rails. A newer group, including Langfuse, Arize AX and Portkey, traces LLM calls, token use and cost.

Free plans meter different things, so compare them against the shape of your usage. Datadog allows 5 hosts, New Relic 100 GB of ingest a month with one full-access user, Grafana Cloud 10,000 metric series and 50 GB of logs with 3 users, and Middleware.io 2 hosts. Host-based limits suit a few servers; ingest-based limits suit many small services that each send little data.

Retention is the other catch. DeadBro keeps 7 days and Arize AX 15 days, which makes it hard to compare this week's latency with last month's. Open-source options such as Netdata, Langfuse and Comet Opik can be self-hosted when the hosted quota runs out. The Amazon CloudWatch allowance of 10 custom metrics and alarms is mainly useful for workloads already on AWS.
