Check out Coralogix! It comes in at a fraction of the price of DataDog (typically a 40-70% cost reduction for migrating customers), no service tiering (so you instantly get support, managed onboarding etc) with a complete, end to end, open source experience (even archived logs are stored in Parquet).

For your use case, Coralogix is awesome. It comes with a managed Grafana instance, if you wish to use that interface, or a custom dashboarding solution, metric driven alarms, release tagging, and much more.
