You have to survive as company long enough where paying 30k/month sounds reasonable for logging… esp if your revenue is nowhere near it, and are not VC funded… and you will always have to maintain your integrations at the very least.
- dmlittle 6y agoIf you're using log rehydration with DD it's hard to hit the $30k/mo fee. Before I left my last company we were evaluating DD logging and it came out to ~$5-6k/mo for about 25B logs per month. When you start you'll likely pay a few hundred dollars per month tops. Your personal time alone is probably worth more than that.
- cinquemb 6y agoBefore I left my last company, we were spending about a couple hundred dollars per month just on media storage/bandwidth alone for serving academic papers/docs/data (as well as our logs)… in top 5k in alexa, top 100 in indonesia with about maybe 60-70 customers paying 150-200 dollars per year coming from mostly EM countries… the customers can barely afford/justify spending what we were offering over using some open source alternatives, and there would be no way in hell we'd spend that on just logging. I at least helped 10x the customers and cut costs from when I joined to before I left (stayed a little over a year)… but man, talk about constraints…
