You came for visibility.Now you pay to see less.
The Datadog love/hate timeline
Nobody plans to ration their own observability. It happens one cost review at a time.
- 01Love it
One place to see production.
- 02Tune it
Trim logs, tags, and retention.
- 03Split it
Costs rise again. Thin out development.
- 04Love / hate
The bill falls. Useful context goes with it.
- 05Leave it
The CFO says enough. Engineers want their data back.
A common journey, not a claim about every Datadog customer.
