Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thank you, really appreciate the feedback and encouragement! > It seems like clickhouse is obviously a big piece of the tech here, which is an obvious choice, but from my experience with high data rate ingest, especially logs, you can run into issues at larger scale. Is that something you expect to give options around in open source? Scaling any system can be challenging - our experience so far is that Clickhouse is…

One piece of advice here is, if you pitch yourself as a datadog competitor, then I would recommend replicating some of the GTM motions that datadog employed. For instance, you have an opportunity to go very upmarket, super enterprise orgs. You can do PLG, but ultimately every tool becomes SLG. I would recommend fine tuning that motion as that would be the one bringing larger contract 6 digit contracts and huge growth…

Thank you - I think that's definitely an interesting idea for us to go down for sure! We've heard a ton that the unpredictable (and insane) costs of Datadog is forcing teams to move off in droves. Something that strikes the balance between more expensive hosted solution vs cheaper but self hosted might definitely a interesting angle to try.

Outside of the intended use-case of _replacing_ Datadog, I think this may actually serve as an excellent local development "Datadog Lite", which I have always wanted, and is something embarrassingly, sorely missing from local development environments. In local development environments, I want to: - Verify that tracing and metrics (if you use OpenTelemetry) actually work as intended (through an APM-like UI). - Have so…

Yes! We definitely do - in fact this is how we develop locally, our local stack is pretty intricate and can fail in different areas, so it's pretty nice for us to be able to debug errors directly in HyperDX when we're developing HyperDX! Otel tracing works and should be pretty bulletproof - metrics is still early so you might see some weirdness (we'll need to update the remaining work we've identified in GH issues) Y…

Since my comment is too old to edit now - musing on this a bit more I think this would be pretty awesome to turn into a well-supported workflow to have a low-resource-usage/all-in-one version for just local development.

If anyone wants to chat more about this - I've kicked off an issue [1] to gather interest and everyone's feedback.

I am new to this space and was considering a self hosted install of Sentry software. Sentry is also opensource and appears to be similar to datadog and HyperDX in some ways. Do you know Sentry and can you tell us how your product is different?

Thanks.
