Dashbird vs New Relic: find out which serverless observability solution works best for your stack.
If you want to follow AWS Well-Architected Framework practices without looking into the whitepapers all the time, Dashbird should be your choice.
New Relic should be seen as a more general solution than a monitoring product focused on AWS or serverless technology, so if you have a diverse set of architectures running, New Relic is a good choice.
“We use New Relic for our core technology, but at the time it didn’t feel like they had good support for serverless. We were looking for an easy solution that we could deploy quickly and that didn’t take us a lot of engineering work to set up, but would still give us all the things that we would expect from a solution, which in our case is mostly making sure that we are even aware of errors when they happen.” – Daniel Lang, CEO and co-founder at Mangomint
READ CASE STUDY
In addition to AWS Lambda functions, Dashbird also covers detailed observability for API Gateways, SQS queues, ECS containers, Kinesis streams, Step Functions, and DynamoDB tables.
Access logs, metrics, and tracing data all in one place.
Unlike New Relic, Dashbird also covers Zero-latency impact monitoring. This might not be an issue for most workloads where a few milliseconds more or less don’t count, but if you have time-critical tasks, you should keep this in mind.
Dashbird finds serverless errors automatically, alerts you in seconds, and identifies the root cause so that you can jump straight in and fix it.
Dashbird features 100+ continuous checks on your resources based on the five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework and gives you aggregated data reports and actionable advice on what could be improved in your infrastructure.
These checks and suggestions uncover weak points in your system affecting reliability, security, cost, performance, and operational excellence, helping you build a bullet-proof architecture.
Dashbird requires no code changes (just read-only access to your AWS stack) while still giving you end-to-end visibility.
Setting up takes 2 minutes and you run no risk of affecting your application.
SIGN UP NOW
Dashbird gives us a simple and easy to use tool to have peace of mind and know that all of our Serverless functions are running correctly. We are instantly aware now if there’s a problem. We love the fact that we have enough information in the Slack notification itself to take appropriate action immediately and know exactly where the issue occurred.
Thanks to Dashbird the time to discover the occurrence of an issue reduced from 2-4 hours to a matter of seconds or minutes. It also means that hundreds of dollars are saved every month.
Great onboarding: it takes just a couple of minutes to connect an AWS account to an organization in Dashbird. The UI is clean and gives a good overview of what is happening with the Lambdas and API Gateways in the account.
I mean, it is just extremely time-saving. It’s so efficient! I don’t think it’s an exaggeration or dramatic to say that Dashbird has been a lifesaver for us.
Dashbird provides an easier interface to monitor and debug problems with our Lambdas. Relevant logs are simple to find and view. Dashbird’s support has been good, and they take product suggestions with grace.
Great UI. Easy to navigate through CloudWatch logs. Simple setup.
Dashbird helped us refine the size of our Lambdas, resulting in significantly reduced costs. We have Dashbird alert us in seconds via email when any of our functions behaves abnormally. Their app immediately makes the cause and severity of errors obvious.
Start monitoring in 2 minutes. No code changes, no credit card. Start working with your data immediately!
