How to Monitor Serverless Functions: Datadog vs supaguard
A head-to-head comparison of monitoring Serverless Functions using Datadog and supaguard. Discover the modern AI approach to synthetic testing.
Monitoring Serverless Functions is vital to your business. If it goes down, you lose revenue and trust. Let's compare how you would monitor Serverless Functions using Datadog versus supaguard.
The Datadog Approach
To monitor Serverless Functions in Datadog, you typically must:
- Navigate complex dashboards to set up a new synthetic test.
- Write raw code or configure tedious manual selectors.
- Handle edge cases (like slow networks or cookie banners) manually.
- Pay a premium for high-frequency execution.
- Continuously update the code every time the Serverless Functions UI changes.
The result: You spend more time maintaining tests than fixing actual bugs.
The supaguard Approach
supaguard replaces the script with an AI Agent.
- Tell supaguard: "Navigate to the site and verify the Serverless Functions works."
- supaguard generates the optimal testing flow instantly.
- If the UI changes, supaguard's Sanctum AI automatically heals the test and continues monitoring.
