Is anybody here using Datadog? What do you think about it? Any good/bad experiences?

Also anyone with any amount of traffic will complain about cost. Datadog is extremely expensive

I think it’s the (lack of) transparency and complexity of their pricing that I find problematic at this stage (evaluating monitoring solutions) Any alternatives that you have better experience with?

I hate it, It mangles OTEL histogram bucketing, distorts graphs depending on your resolution, doesn't have built in percentile aggregates (like grafana does)

That’s helpful, Thanks Ben!
