Just keep scheduling a time that works, and then don't show up.
Man I bet you could write a really dumb script that automates it too.
Make sure you include a logger in that script to catch any anomalies

Just wait until they find your wife's phone number. (OK, this wasn't datadog, but some similarly aggressive headhunting agency went from calling me to calling my wife - who is in no way affiliated with my company - to ask her if she could tell me about how they could help me in hiring, yadda yadda.)

#133Datadog prices are insane. We're leaving them now at my work because they've gotten to be more expensive than our entire AWS bill.

Sentry is python and has extremely reasonable costs (and you can even self-host it). Honestly if you want to complain at the cost of hosting (which, we don't know if they would) then licensing the software and allowing people to self-host would be the solution. $65M is enough that I could fund a team running google's monarch system for 7-8 years.
I thought Sentry was Ruby?

#135Datadog is a pretty amazing product, and if you are careful and use it in the right way, it is very powerful, and cheaper than rolling your own LGTM Grafana stack (or similar). If you are not careful, or at a decent scale, you can easily spend obscene amounts of money. The metrics pricing is completely insane for example, and its easy for people to emit high cardinality metrics from apps and explode your bill. I think by this point you need to run an internal solution, and that is when it makes sense to double down on a combo of elastic, and grafanas stack for logging, tracing and metrics.

#136Datadog 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…
My understanding their stack is Python. So they probably have high costs as well :)
Originally, yes, but it's been rewritten in Go.

Just wait until they find your personal cell phone number and try to force you into scheduling a "time that works" on the calendar.
I have started invoicing companies for wasting my time and also threatening them with CAN-SPAM complaints for failing to include an opt-out, an actual mailing address, etc. Then, when my invoice isn’t paid, I threaten collections on them personally and the company. Usually that solves it. Then I’m “such a dick” but highly effective in recovering my time.
Wait, have any companies actually paid you?!

#139Stupid question: What open source solution can give me an easy Datadog(ish) experience and is simple to implement?

Datadog costs more to monitor your AWS t3.medium instance than the actual instance. I asked them how them can justify that. They recommended I use "modern infrastructure" which means Docker.
Was Datadog pricing per-host? If so, then I guess running a Kubernetes cluster using the biggest available instances is the most "modern" solution to Datadog-using infrastructure.
It is mainly per host $15 or $23 PCM with the first 5-10 containers free then $0.002 per hour (~$1.5 PCM) per container. The insight and stats you get are quite granular and valuable however. For large scale deployments you can ignore certain containers etc.
