#62Datadog prices are out of this world. I assumed their front facing prices were for the lone dev, so when I reached out as a company looking to integrate multiple of their products I expected a deal, and got very little compromise. I told them up front they were going to have to cut prices by 90% for us to consider them -- no budge. And they are pretty belligerent salesman, not wanting to leave me alone. After a while I just blocked their domain to my email.

Their sales team is a nightmare, I had to block them on personal and company email.

Not on purpose, but I could imagine someone at FTX signing up for datadog, configuring it to ingest their logs without doing any estimation or setting up any guardrails and then not checking on it because things were probably crazy over there.

#68Having never heard of datadog, Wikipedia’s summary is:
> Datadog is an observability service for cloud-scale applications, providing monitoring of servers, databases, tools, and services, through a SaaS-based data analytics platform.
So it checks if your servers have crashed or slowed down with a nice dashboard?
Any better summaries or descriptions of what it does and how coinbase would have used it?

#69A previous workplace switched from this to a competitor, which had much worse graphing as far as I could tell. Seems like an important function for these tools! I wondered why they did that, I guess this is the answer.
