Your newer cloud-native apps have an order of magnitude more dependencies, ephemerality, releases, and telemetry. Proprietary monitoring and APM tools were born in the era of monolithic apps and static infrastructure. They are expensive, intrusive, siloed, and generate more noise than they’re worth.
