Datadog verdict
The most capable observability platform, and the one most likely to surprise you on invoice. Set volume controls on day one.
- Correlating metrics, traces and logs shortens incidents
- Very broad product coverage
- Fast agent-based setup
Postman verdict
The default API workbench. Decide deliberately whether your API contracts should live here or in your repository.
- Ubiquitous: most engineers already know it
- Strong testing and mocking capability
- Documentation publishing is genuinely usable
