New Relic vs Datadog
Developers should use New Relic when building or maintaining applications that require high availability, performance optimization, and proactive issue detection, such as in e-commerce, SaaS, or microservices architectures meets developers should learn and use datadog when building or maintaining distributed systems, microservices architectures, or cloud-based applications that require comprehensive observability. Here's our take.

New Relic
Nice PickDevelopers should use New Relic when building or maintaining applications that require high availability, performance optimization, and proactive issue detection, such as in e-commerce, SaaS, or microservices architectures
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for teams adopting DevOps practices, as it integrates with CI/CD pipelines and provides actionable insights to reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) and improve user experience through features like APM, infrastructure monitoring, and AI-powered alerts
- +Related to: application-performance-monitoring, observability
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Datadog
Developers should learn and use Datadog when building or maintaining distributed systems, microservices architectures, or cloud-based applications that require comprehensive observability
Pros
- +It is essential for DevOps and SRE teams to monitor application performance, detect anomalies, and resolve incidents quickly, particularly in dynamic environments like AWS, Azure, or Kubernetes
- +Related to: apm, infrastructure-monitoring
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use New Relic if: You want it is particularly valuable for teams adopting devops practices, as it integrates with ci/cd pipelines and provides actionable insights to reduce mean time to resolution (mttr) and improve user experience through features like apm, infrastructure monitoring, and ai-powered alerts and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Datadog if: You prioritize it is essential for devops and sre teams to monitor application performance, detect anomalies, and resolve incidents quickly, particularly in dynamic environments like aws, azure, or kubernetes over what New Relic offers.
