- pavlov 3y agoThe scale isn’t a problem if you also have Meta’s profit margins. But most businesses don’t…
- rmbyrro 3y agoThat's what I don't understand about observability services. They complicate things so much that it's sometimes more expensive to observe than to RUN the infra being observed.
- elbear 3y agoSounds like an unaligned incentives issue. Or maybe after a certain scale observing becomes cheaper than running?
- isburmistrov 3y agoI don't think Meta's margins have something to do with this. Companies smaller in scale than Meta also have less data! And yes, Scuba is in-memory, but it's not the requirement.
