This is a good move. I wonder why now, though? Possibly they didn't like to see things like the OpenTracing project adopting Datadog's APM libraries. https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/opentelemetry-instrumentatio

Sometimes it is. I was heavily involved with a decision between Datadog vs New Relic (plus a few others) at a former "unicorn" startup. We definitely did not want to run the server-side ourselves, but having the client libraries b

It could also be less than $100k a month (e.g. 2500 c5a.large with a 1-year reservation). At that point you'd wonder why your monitoring bill was 40% of your compute bill. Also, of course their salary is relevant. The cost of an engine
