#2I 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.

#3How does this compare to the usual Grafana stack?

#4Lot 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.

#5I don't understand what this uses for a storage backend. Object storage? DBMS? Custom? I see references to Clickhouse in the repo...

#7Is 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.
Grafana, Victoria Metrics or Honeycomb
