Datadog is expensive for what they do.

I’m not, really. They’re one of our largest operating expenses and we’re trying to work on reducing our log output to reduce the cost.

For what they do I’m not aware of any players in the space that come anywhere close, though.

They’re also very open and transparent. Work, guidelines, workflows, etc.

It’s a shining example of an alternative kind of company, and it’s insightful and a great resource of information.

There’s absolutely nothing preventing it
