CSP Tools Lead in Cloud Monitoring Preferences
41% of cloud developers say they rely on monitoring and observability tools provided by their cloud service provider.
That’s the top choice—outpacing custom-built solutions (26%), open-source tools (16%), and commercial third-party offerings (13%). In fact, less than 4% of developers report not using any observability tools in their typical cloud projects.
Why are CSP-provided tools leading the pack?
According to our latest Cloud Development Survey, seamless integration is a key driver. These native tools offer built-in compatibility with cloud infrastructure, making it easier for developers to collect and analyze performance data, manage logs and traces, and maintain compliance across the board.
While custom code remains popular—particularly among organizations with specialized needs—its lower adoption compared to CSP tools suggests that ease of use and integration may be winning out over flexibility. (See the findings: https://evansdata.com/cloud)
For vendors and solution providers supporting developers, this raises a strategic question: Are your tools and services complementing or competing with the cloud-native observability ecosystem?
Understanding how developers choose their monitoring stack is critical for staying relevant in a cloud-first world.
What’s your take—do CSP tools simplify your workflow or limit your options?
