Meta developer tools: Working at scale

Splunk can save money, as long as you’re intelligent about processing data. I can think of dozens of security and operational incidents where splunk saved the day.

I’ve been through a few savings exercises where everything is gonna go open source dashboards etc. Once the guy who understands how it all works disappears, it migrates back to splunk.

One security incident response will pay for the entire splunk infrastructure.

This isn't a great argument... sure, Splunk "saved the day" because it caught that really bad security thing... but what other tools, at half the cost, could have also "saved the day"? If most of them could have, then it's not really worth the price... right?

Sure. I can save a ton of money by fixing my own car too - if I have the ability to execute.

If you can, that seriously awesome. The point is, many can’t.
