I’d be silly not to mention what I use at Checkly for production monitoring and simultaneously harass you guys with a covert product pitch:

- Infra metrics & graphing (AWS, Heroku and custom metrics) on AppOptics (formerly Librato)

- Some metrics on Prometheus

- Logs on Papertrail

- Some AWS native Cloudwatch alerts

- Sentry for backend error tracking

- Cronhub for a single background job

- API monitoring with our own product

- Synthetic monitoring using Puppeteer scripts with our own product.

I love Datadog in general but it’s too expensive at this stage.
