Thank you for your comment. You might be right, but this post is written by someone who has been working in open source for 20 years, not just a product owner who dislikes a competitor. I believe his opinion is based on his experience and can be taken into consideration.

The OP definitely has credentials in open source but is also a co-founder of coroot. Like I said, he's got both expertise and a vested interest.
That said, the post seems pretty innocuous on a close read: Datadog is expensive, observability is important, there are some OSS competitors trying to offer a complete suite, this is all similar to what happened in databases in the early 2000s.
Hard to argue with any of that.
