My personal opinion is that using a SaaS observability service just makes life 10x more easier. That said, the costs are too high. And in a rising interest rate, declining revenues environment, a lot of services that were previously instrumented are getting de-instrumented or deprecated. As an example, all the monolith->microservices drama that happened in the past few years is now becoming a questionable engineering direction. Fewer services automatically leads to lesser cloud usage and lesser observability usage.
