Operations
Background jobs, feature flags, error tracking and database health.
Observability is priced per host and per ingested gigabyte, which means the bill grows with exactly the thing you want to grow. Most of what a single Rails app needs from an APM is a slow-query list, a job dashboard and somewhere the exceptions land.
Distributed tracing across services is the honest gap — if you have that problem, buy the product. If you run one app and want to know what threw last night, mount it.
