At this moment, billions of people are rushing to the internet for work, entertainment, shopping — everything, really. It’s great that we developed this virtual world and can keep the lights on, despite what’s happening outside.

On the other hand, cloud systems and developers are under pressure to meet an unparalleled demand. At  Dashbird, we have always thought developers deserve the most efficient tools to discover and resolve issues in seconds in order to keep cloud apps running smoothly.

For applications running on AWS, CloudWatch might have been enough so far. In our research, though, we identified that teams relying solely on CloudWatch tend to lag behind on issue discovery and resolution time.

We have compiled this feature comparison list between AWS Cloudwatch vs Dashbird to help you decide on the most efficient tool for your specific needs.

AWS Cloudwatch monitoring

Don’t get me wrong, Cloudwatch is not a bad tool by any stretch of the means. In fact, is pretty decent for keeping tabs on what’s going on in your AWS stack if you take the time to understand its intricacies. It’s the go-to tool for monitoring cloud resources in AWS and allows you to track all your resources together.
