Makes a lot of sense. So I am thinking of building an AI-powered Datadog alternative. Why now? is because with AI I can rapidly build integrations to Ruby, Python and other languages. But I'm really low-confidence on this one, because how do I make it reach a lot of people? Is there a need for this? Because I can make it really cheap.

I recommend talking to potential customers. Do they want cheap? Do they want AI? Or do they want a reliable observability platform they don't have to think about because it Just Works. Not rhetorical! I don't know what these customers want, but you should know if you're going to build for them. Go talk to folks and then go make something people want.

Okay, I reached out to a few who are cursing DataDog, but also are not fully committed to buying what I'm building. How do I reach out to more people? I mean, it's like I KNOW there is some way here. Because they are not like "I'm happy with DataDog", but it's also not like "We're ready to abandon it for yours". I talked to ones paying like $40k/mo and $80k/mo(DHH).
