## Summary

A comparison of six observability platforms for developers: Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, Honeybadger, Splunk, and Sentry. Covers what each platform does well, its key features, pricing model, and ideal use case. Also explains what observability platforms are, the types of telemetry data they collect (metrics, logs, traces, events), and a framework for choosing the right tool based on team size, environment, pain points, and budget.
