Papertrail used to be awesome, until the SW acquisition. I've been very happy with LogDNA/Mezmo as a replacement (no affiliation, just a happy customer!).

As far as the Get Things Done aspect goes, I'd happy replace Github + Github Actions + Travis/other CI/CD tools with Gitlab. It really does all that, and the CI/CD tool is >>> Github Actions.
Could you explain more on that thought?
Github indeed has somewhat superior code-review tools. But I've found Gitlab to be perfectly adequate.
When it comes to CI/CD, Gitlab CI blows Github Actions out of the water by a HUGE margin.
So, if I just wanted a tool that got things done for me, instead of fragmenting myself with Github + Github Actions + TravisCI / CircleCI, etc, I'd just get one Gitlab subscription and call it a day.

Which tools?
I use these: contracts / signatures, docs, e-mail, social, email campaigns, transactional email, website, crm, invoicing, books, appointments, webinars, meetings, project management, helpdesk, ecommerce. But there are way waaaay more apps included: https://www.zoho.com/one/applications/web.html
Travis CI and Solarwinds on the list eh...

As someone who moved from Mandrill to Sendgrid, and not exactly satisfied...can you tell me what Mailgun does better?
Skip Mailgun and go straight to Postmark. Phenomenal delivery rates. They were recently acquired by ActiveCampaign though so hopefully things don't change.
expensify -> brex sendgrid -> mailgun travis -> probably anything else

When I was younger I thought it is cool to be admin and have access to stuff, run things on my own being like Neo in Matrix. Then I had admin access to wi-fi router in dorm, it stopped being funny when people shitty laptops could not connect and they would blame you or for any kind of connection issue for that matter :) Then I had a job with support duty, 1 A.M. calls because you need to check logs are not cool. Now…
Yep. Again, the nuance of this point is lost on the "homelab" crowd, but if you're in a software business, your software is what your business is. Not running a monitoring platform, not running a logging system, not building your own PaaS. Outsource this as much as possible to 3rd-party agents with a sizable economy of scale. Nearly all engineering teams(outside of FAANG) simply aren't resourced to re-invent the whee…

Deliverability is not one of its strengh. Considering a change right now.
Nice sharing! One question, how could 10G tier for solarwinds-papertrail is enough for you? I am expecting you to have more logs generated, it's due to only short-term data being queried in it(cold ones will be archived in different infra?) or?
