It’s often said that Heroku is ideal for developers who prioritize rapid and straightforward application deployment. Meanwhile, AWS is seen as the ideal choice for applications requiring advanced scalability and intensive performance. Yet, as both platforms have evolved, their offerings have expanded, and some overlaps have emerged, making it more challenging to distinguish their strengths and limitations.

Things are changing. Technology differences between serverless and container-based systems are rapidly blurring. In 2020, Amazon Web Services (AWS) enabled AWS Lambda to package and deploy functions as container images instead of bundling all of a function’s code and dependencies in a.zip file. Today, more organizations are increasingly deploying Lambda functions as Docker container images. These companies want to reap the benefits of serverless computing, containers, and container orchestration.

YouTube. Netflix. Uber. Spotify. TikTok. You name it. You sign up and get your own account. Once you set it up however you want, you can access it from any internet-enabled device, including smartphones and smartwatches. If your device breaks, or is lost, or you switch to a new one, you can still access your account, as well as its settings and information, from another device without having to recreate everything from scratch.

New Relic has established itself as a top observability platform with full-stack monitoring. Unifying all telemetry data — metrics, events, logs, and traces — into one platform delivers deep performance insights and enables faster troubleshooting without juggling multiple tools. Also, New Relic prioritizes developers with tools like CodeStream, integrating error details and telemetry directly into the IDE.

Financial reporting tools help businesses of all sizes manage budgets, track performance, and make informed decisions. By automating repetitive tasks, they save time, reduce errors and improve accuracy. The demand for these tools is skyrocketing. In 2024, the market was valued at $14.94 billion and is expected to reach $37.56 billion by 2031. The rise of cloud-based solutions and the need for real-time financial insights are major drivers behind this growth.

Data engineering. Data science. Machine learning. Data governance. These are just a few of the many capabilities that make Databricks a favorite among developers and data engineers. Yet, most have one common complaint — its cost. Some say it’s too expensive, especially for small and medium-sized organizations. Others find it hard to justify using the platform due to budget limits. In addition, maintaining and running data warehouses can be costly.

CloudZero unveils our new logo and brand.

With CloudZero you get insights about your applications and systems, helping you manage operations at a scale that you’ve never had before. Our platform provides you with insights about every piece of your system, including the real cost of resources, resource utilization, reserved capacity and cost center efficiency.

With the accurate and trusted data provided by CloudZero you can minimize or eliminate under utilized resources, visualize costs for easy comprehension and oversee the entire software lifecycle. Nothing is out of view when using CloudZero’s Observability platform. From regional views to individual resources, you have insights at every level to help you keep your systems running smoothly.

How do we do it?

  • Collect and Normalize: CloudZero’s platform starts by collecting the data from your CloudWatch, CloudTrail, VPC Flowlogs, Lambda Data Events and Billing Data from every AWS account you connect. This part of the platform is isolated in its own account for security and has read-only access to the accounts you connect.
  • Populate the Stream: All of the data collected is normalized and the events, resources, statistics and billing data are organized into data streams which allow our platform to perform real-time analytics on all the data collected.
  • Find Meaning: Our algorithms take in the normalized data and perform complex analytics sifting through all the data to filter noise and enhance signal. We use Machine Learning on a large scale to learn what is valuable to surface.
  • Visualize Everything: The application provides opinionated visualizations of the insights determined by the platform’s AI. From regional system maps to single resources to cost of service broken down by team, CloudZero’s platform provides true observability to everyone in your organization.

Observability for Everyone. Add cost as a first-class metric and understand the financial effect of operational decisions.
