I can second NewRelic. We've used it for some time at work, and it's
definitely the strongest performance monitoring tool that I've used.
Recently I used their free tier for my language game in Flask, and it's
again been useful. The 24h limit to history does prevent you from
investigating performance over time though -- for that you have to pay.

We're also moving to sentry at work.

We use Github, but Bitbucket's more reasonably priced. It's what I use for
my personal projects. The workflow around pull requests is probably not as
strong for teams though.
