One of our founders wrote a blog series on this https://www.observeinc.com/blog/why-observe-part-3-the-platf.... It all boils down to this snippet:

– Ability to ingest 100s of terabytes to petabytes of data per day, and store those for months to years.

– Ability to provide a delightfully interactive user experience, despite managing terabytes of data.

– Ability to work efficiently with semi-structured data (i.e. the messy slop you find in logs).

– Ability to efficiently execute the kinds of band-joins and window analytic functions needed for us to realize efficient queries on Resources.

– Unit economics that make sense for the Observability use-case.
