This is a great article. A lot of people treat logs as something you write and never read. Therefore, the only "cost" is the storage. The actual VALUE is in the retrieval, the analysis, etc. That's bandwidth plus software development, which is by far more valuable than a hard disk on a server.
It would be hilarious if people replied to this blog post with comparisons of Honeycomb's monthly price to the price of a DO drop or a EC2 host with the equivalent amount of storage. Those people would be showing their complete and total misunderstanding of logs.
Someone should write a blog post about misconceptions about logs to help educate such people... oh wait... she did!
