Use one opaque black box of costs to get clarity on another opaque black box of costs. I don't recommend this.
Datadog very quickly adds on costs for things you have no idea you need or want. You have an additional "host parametrix double-channel provider" and it's an extra $200/month per 2000 items. 2000 items of what? I don't know but you are at 1900 now and there's still 10 days to go in the month. Also, to manage those 2000 items, you need 2 additional pipe funnels so the data is churned to the right settings.... and so on.
The sales team signed you on $60/month and now you're at $2189.48 and counting. Where the fuck is all this money going? you say to yourself and the inertia takes over and you close the Datadog tab.

- mullingitover 5y agoIt's not like hand-rolling the equivalent services that DD provides is free. > now you're at $2189.48 and counting. This is a wonderful bargain compared to the expense of hiring a full-time engineer (or more) to provision and maintain all the infrastructure that DD replaces.
