Cloud Monitoring
Cloud Monitoring tracks performance, uptime, and health for apps running on Google Cloud, other clouds, or on-premises setups. It provides visibility into system status across these mixed environments, helping teams spot issues in their infrastructure regardless of where the workloads actually live.
This setup suits teams already operating within the Google ecosystem who need centralized observability. The main catch is the cost structure: there is no free tier available, so every usage instance incurs charges under the pay-as-you-go model. You pay for what you use, with no entry-level option to test the service without incurring expenses.
