my eyes popped at the "most expensive solution i've seen so far". compared to what?!? we don't like to promise "it's always cheaper", but .. it's always cheaper, lol.

with datadog, you have to arm wrestle them for every drop of cardinality, and on honeycomb, you can throw in as much as you want, any time you want. it smells to me like you aren't used to instrumenting your code with rich data?

i would love to hear how you are doing all the 2.0 stuff i described on datadog. you can't zoom in, zoom out, identify outliers and correlations.. the data doesn't exist! at best, you can predefine a few connective points between your logs and metrics and traces.

which is fine.. if your systems aren't that complicated and rarely fail in unpredictable ways. if that's the case, -- i'm glad you've found something that owrks for you.
