I can’t imagine spending $65M on a single vendor. And it’s just for logging and monitoring.
The Datadog account manager or sales team must have had $$ in their eyes once the CB wire transfer cleared. Even a modest 5% commission is $3.25M (before taxes).
- rektide 4y agoThere's no other tool anywhere near as useful on the planet for seeing what you are doing. DataDog is amazing. Stunning instrument of revelation. It's a ton of money but also., as others have said, Coindesk was rolling in money & needed above all to keep winning. This was a great spend to keep on top of their technical situation. I do think we'll see better & better OpenTelemetry alternatives, over time, but wow, DataDog just runs, is so reliable, so great, does so much. Getting deep. Down the DD path makes all the sense to me.
