I always liked Datadog as a product but it's also true that it is simply way too expensive if you don't spend significant time cost optimizing. But hosting it myself doesn't really seem like a great solution, I rather invest time in making my app robust than making my monitoring stable.

Lot of interesting OSS observability products coming out in recent years. One of the more impressive(and curious for many reasons) IMHO is OpenObserve: https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve .

As opposed to just a stack, they are implementing just about the whole backend shebang from scratch.

Is that all datadog is?

I read the horror stories, the monthly bills of 10's of thousands for one server and just assumed there was something more substantial to the product; like they did something groundbreaking or novel. I never cared enough to actually look and see what they did.

I use uptime-kuma - https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma - it obviously does a fraction of what these other things do but it does everything I need.

And (in a simple, non-TLS, local storage configuration), as a static binary OpenObserve is incredibly easy to install locally or with Ansible ( https://github.com/bbkane/shovel_ansible/blob/master/openobs... )

As a guy running this for personal infrastructure, I super appreciate the easy install and low system requirements

I'm a former datadog user from a series D tech scale-up, and yeah the horror stories of billing are true.
