thanks for the detailed note. I was just checking Datadog pricing for serverless, there is says - $7.20 per active function per month. If you are using 45 lambdas, is the number of functions much higher? I am guessing ~200 or so? Though I can see, how charging based on functions can quickly shoot up the bill

The problem is we have 4 isolated environments so it’s 4x number of lambdas. Plus, since you only pay for lambdas when they’re running we also deploy developers PRs in AWS so that we can test their API changes with integration tests before merging those changes in. The fixed cost is a killer. We have developers on our team in India, Ukraine, and the US so even our dev environment is used 24x7 essentially.

  What are the 4 isolate environments in your case? Dev, test, accp, and prod? If so, you almost slash the cost by 50% by only monitoring accp and prod. Can be accomplished by introducing a toggle in your lambda’s.

  Are you sure you need to monitor the PR lambdas? If they're going to make it to one of the 3 environments before prod.

  @cebert have you checked out Scanner.dev? It uses sparse skip-list indexing and serverless components to let you query a terabyte of logs in seconds and pricing is around the same as Cloudwatch
