Prometheus + Grafana — open source alternative

Open source metrics collection and dashboards.

Strengths

  • De-facto standard metrics stack.
  • Massive exporter ecosystem.
  • Grafana dashboards are industry standard.

Weaknesses

  • No built-in long-term storage by default.
  • Alert routing requires Alertmanager learning.
  • Not a turn-key APM — more assembly required.
