doesn't have to be, they could sustain losses and count it as a marketing expense.

Not necessarily. They might be doing this to get more customers on it since they're losing to Datadog.
Amazon has a long history of being willing to eat a ton of loss to kill competition like in the very popular diapers.com business.

#7Prometheus clusters/scaling/federation can be challenging to manage at scale, but Im a but surprised at how relatively popular Datadog is given its price and how feature rich prometheus is. Does anyone here have experience with both?

Yeah used both in prod and was pondering the same question. On top of that dd was ridiculously expensive and resource hungry in kubernetes environment. I’m biased though bc i used the prometheus inspiration extensively at google. For someone who doesn’t use as many custom metrics (which I suspect are most orgs out there) dd is probably superior bc it gets the job done (mostly) and has ok ui

Considering that one is free and that the other is not cheap, I'd like to see some data demonstrating this since common sense would dictate otherwise.
