Datadog is a monstrosity, they do so many things, most of which you don't know or don't care about, so which ones do you need?

We ended up going for HyperDX, just because I really favour fast log searches and simple alerts straight to Slack, but many of these Clickhouse-powered observability suites like Signoz, BetterStack, etc will do the job. Just depends how much you want to pay.

Also, I hope you're on OTEL already, since it makes changing providers the most easy task ever.

Thanks for this. Learning my lesson now to standardize on OTEL first. Thanks for the tip.
