Should I Use CubeAPM?
Full-stack observability with 4x faster dashboards and 70% lower costs. OpenTelemetry-based APM built for on-prem, unlimited data retention and modern cloud teams.
Depends
DependsBuy if you run real infrastructure and want Datadog-grade observability at $0.15/GB with self-hosting or data-residency control.
Cheap OpenTelemetry observability for teams that can self-host; overkill for small apps, riskier than funded rivals.

Best for
- Cost-sensitive DevOps and engineering teams
- Self-hosting / data-residency requirements
- High-volume log and trace workloads
- OpenTelemetry-standardized stacks
Not for
- Solo devs or tiny teams with one simple app — massive overkill
- Teams wanting pure zero-ops SaaS; self-hosting means running infra
- Buyers needing a large, funded, long-term vendor
- Non-engineering teams; this is DevOps/APM tooling only
