Terraform is one of the leaders in the IaC tools with a rich ecosystem of providers and modules, now you can put a puzzle with Netdata Cloud to your stack.

In this post, we delve into the comparative analysis of the commercial offerings of five leading monitoring solutions—Dynatrace, Datadog, Instana, Grafana, and Netdata. Our objective is to unravel the intrinsic value each of these services offers when applied to a real-world scenario.

As the landscape of real-time monitoring evolves, so does the diversity and complexity of use cases that our community brings to Netdata. Our mission has always been to democratize monitoring by making it accessible, powerful, and scalable for everyone. With the rapid growth of our user base and their expanding needs, it's become clear that our plan structure must evolve to maintain this mission sustainably.
