About Better Stack APM

Better Stack is a Prague-based observability platform that bundles uptime monitoring, logs, metrics, distributed tracing (APM), incident management and status pages into a single product. Founded in 2021, it uses ClickHouse to deliver fast queries at substantially lower cost than Datadog-class tools. The APM module tracks golden signals per route, correlates them with traces and logs, and uses OpenTelemetry. Pricing starts at $25/month with a free tier and unlimited team members included.
