We ditched Datadog.. Is Prometheus the better solution for monitoring AWS + on-prem?
Prometheus should live as close to your stack as possible - What you probably want to do in this scenario is run a separate Prometheus instance in each VPC, possibly exposing them all to a central server for aggregation using federation More on reddit.com

What are people's opinion on Datadog for monitoring?
I like it, but god is it expensive. We used it for a single project but when we looked at expanding it into other areas (like container monitoring) the costs were simply too high. We get everything we need from Grafana and Prometheus with Alertmanager and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. More on reddit.com

What are you using for Monitoring / Observability of your kubernetes applications?

Usually Prometheus, Elk and Jaeger (standalone, not Istio yet).

A lot of monitoring tools overlap in functionality. If you're at a small company it's a reasonable trade-off to choose a single tool like Datadog that is quite strong in time series metrics, weak for logs and mediocre at tracing.

If you're at a larger company and have more time to setup, learn and tweak your config then it's best to split between more tools.

I wrote a bit about the overlapping data types here:

Will DataDog APM work on windows OS to monitor a PHP site?
Yes, Datadog APM does work on Windows OS to monitor a PHP site. Datadog APM provides support for PHP and can be used to monitor PHP applications, including those running on Windows servers[3][8]. To get started with PHP APM, you need to install the Datadog PHP extension and configure your PHP application to send traces to Datadog. The installation process involves downloading the official installer and running it with the appropriate options for your setup[8]. Once installed, the Datadog APM extension will automatically instrument your PHP application and begin sending traces to the Datadog Agent, which then forwards the traces to Datadog for visualization and analysis[8]. For detailed instructions on installing and configuring Datadog APM for PHP, you can refer to the official Datadog documentation[8]. ** response from okami.io ** More on reddit.com

Customizing APM metrics and traces on Datadog - Datadog Video Tutorial | LinkedIn Learning, formerly Lynda.com
You may be wondering why custom metrics or tagging are so important. In a nutshell, they help us to really understand product performance. A lot of the default metrics you will receive from your APM tools are very infrastructure and engineering focused. However, the real reason behind observability is to understand if the products you're building are available and reliable, and custom metrics and tags can help you understand and measure that.

July 1, 2025 - But if the root cause of the problem is located somewhere in one of your backend services or dependencies, it can be difficult to find it with frontend data alone. For that, we can pivot to APM. Because Datadog RUM and APM are fully integrated, traces are tagged with frontend data, including the session ID, view ID, and view path group of the user that initiated the request.
