Gergely Orosz dug into this a bit more and surfaced quite a build your own vs renew vs renew with highly negotiated terms. (https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/datadog-65m-year-customer...)

A lot of this discussion reminds me of this talk:"Netflix built its own monitoring system - and why you probably shouldn't" (https://www.infoq.com/presentations/netflix-monitoring-syste...) where Roy Rappport describes Netflix as a "monitoring system that happens to stream movies"

As someone who spent a few years at New Relic and Lacework, I can also say that pricing observability fairly is crazy hard when you account for different architectures, usage pricing, and the humans experience the value.
