With datadog you can quickly get up and running. May be the easiest among all out there. Since it enables you to put everything into one dashboard irrespective of their zone,VPC or environment type we can have one bookmarked place to look at for the first...

Costs rise exponentially with large scale applications. New Relic recently changed their pricing structure resulting in our bill tripling.
