> what would it take for you to trust an external service to manage your logs?
An act of God. This implies, of course, certain further prerequisites that are themselves probably quite challenging to meet.
> economies of scale
Under your current plans, the money spent putting my entire infrastructure on Scalyr would pay 2-3+ developers (or some mix of developers and sysadmins) in Taiwan, where my employer is based. We are not a tiny company, but that would be a substantial and welcome manpower increase for the server team, and only a fraction of that manpower would need to be spent meeting even our "would be nices" for logging and monitoring.
This would only get worse as we grew. Realistically, I would expect us to be able to open an office in Silicon Valley and start hiring there at market rates for the amount of money we'd be giving you.
