The TL;DR is that there is so much observable data out there (exponentially more than expected), that Datadog, which isn’t optimized to deal with that, caused their prices to need to hike.
There are two options listed as alternatives:
Self host but it might not be cheaper
Buy into a company that is from the ground up focusing on dealing with that massive amount of data.
All due respect (which is none), I don’t care what you think. Plus, this isn’t even an ad for Splunk, which you’d know if you actually read the article.
Edit:
Also, it actually straight up says that the article writer works for a competitor. Braindead comment.
its an incredibly powerful tool. I’ve seen its usage bloom from simple box health to actually determining cost per month of services. basically going from a “hows our server looking?” to a “we need this tool to achieve our margins”
