errorship is not using the datadog eventstream to send all logs to it. Rather, errorship just sends exceptions, their stack traces(and a few other metadata like hostname) to the eventstream.

The datadog documentation[1] says; "An event represents any record of activity noteworthy for engineers"[1]. We certainly believe that exceptions that occur in engineer's applications are noteworthy activities and as such belong to the eventstream.

Yep, noted that, and I like how you preserve syntax highlighting in the stack traces :)

Out of curiosity, I've only ever dabbled in Datadog, is there any limit on event stream size or retention? I couldn't find anything mentioned in the docs.

I had also noticed the lack of mention in the docs, so I reached out to datadog sometime last year. Their response was that it doesn't have any limits or quota

Interesting. Is there some disincentive that discourages it? Is it hard (or costly) to query, for example...compared to paying specifically for logging?

Seems like a big loophole.
