Datadog has turned into an ever loving piece of shit. I am sick of their sales team grabbing us by the ankles and "Accidentally" charging for services we don't use. Now, this morning they changed something with their AWS integration that is causing 10X the API calls against our accounts (and thus, 10X guardduty costs on our end analyzing those API requests).
I have had enough of their bullshit and want to find a new vendor. What is everyone using for cloud scale logging and monitoring these days that isn't one of Splunk (cost prohibitive), Sumo-Logic (Also assholes), or Datadog?
It would be nice to just self host a service that stored logs in S3 using iceberg format. However, I don't think such a tool exists.
The caveat is that this is a general purpose data streaming product, so it isn't that opinionated or customized for logging. We still use logging custom frontends for browsing (e.g. grafana), but for core logging/monitoring/billing and critical alerts, it's just Fluvio.
Been looking at the https://coroot.com ebpf collectors to see if we can replace our sidecar sources recently.
