I agree with this. For internal apps, pick a system and stick with it. If you're excited by Datadog's marketing pitch, just buy it and use it. It will not make or break your startup; like if your Datadog bill is what's standing between you and profitability, then you probably didn't actually find product/market fit. Switching to Prometheus at that point also won't help you find product/market fit.
In the 2 jobs where I've set up the production environment, I just picked Prometheus/Jaeger/cloud provider log storage/Grafana on day 1 and have never been disappointed. You explode the helm chart into your cluster over the course of 30 minutes, and then move on to making something great (or spending a week debugging Webpack; can't help you with that one).
