Frequently Asked Questions
Datadog dollar cost?
Starts $15/host/mo infra. Realistic 10 servers + logs + traces = $300-800/mo. Rises with load.
Open-source alt for Datadog?
SigNoz (signoz.io), OpenObservability. But enterprise depth Datadog does not match.
How to migrate?
Datadog → Grafana Cloud: exporters work both. Datadog → Enterno: only for basic uptime + RUM, deep APM doesn't port.
Pay-as-you-go risk?
Log volume can explode (DEBUG in prod) → thousands-of-dollars bill. Billing alerts mandatory.
