Even though it takes some ops-skill to setup, this

> They charge you a ludicrous $2,380 per terabyte of ingested data. This is 20x the cost of the underlying storage, even if it's Premium SSD! For comparison, AWS charges just $500, which is still overpriced.

just makes me happy about our monitoring cluster on the german hoster Hetzner. The old systems are at 40 Euros / month for 900GB storage and the upgraded ones are 40 Euros for 1.3TB / month. There's some manpower per month in there, and some egress costs, but it's still very cheap.

We moved off Azure LA to Datadog for this reason. Cheaper, better cost control options, and far superior UX.
