Ask HN: Any decent lean metrics and logs solutions?

— how do you monitor your basic app health metrics and check logs and get notified about critical issues _without_ all the hassle and overhead involved in setting up and maintaining prometheus/elk/grafana/etc

Do you know of any minimalistic turnkey solutions?

Something like importing a single library in your code and making few calls to it. Without drowning in linux, docker, networks, authentication, proxies, pipelines... configuration hell.

stdout and human observation if you can't be bothered to do it close to right.
Have you tried Grafana Cloud's free tier? Good place to start, little setup required and reasonable limitations.
