How to Get Your Observability Costs Under Control

Observability costs should–and can– be predictable Duolingo and OneFootball, like many others, were burdened by excessive observability costs and limited metrics capabilities. More and more companies are switching observability vendors due to their unpredictable costs and the complex billing for logs, metrics, and APM services. Honeycomb’s wide events model and unified data store let you collect as much data as you want on any part of your application, with extremely fast analysis that lets you resolve issues before most customers notice, by default, at no additional cost. Join Duolingo, OneFootball, and Honeycomb as we discuss how custom metrics lead to unpredictable costs, how they leveraged wide events for better results, and the steps they took to maximize insights while significantly reducing their observability costs. In this webinar, you will learn how to: - Stop the runaway costs of traditional APM & observability tools using custom metrics - Capture and leverage high-dimensionality & high-cardinality data for faster answers - Scale observability costs predictably in alignment with business growth Speakers: - David Amin, Staff Site Reliability Engineer, Duolingo - Bruno Costa, Principal Site Reliability Engineer, OneFootball - Martin Thwaites, Principal Developer Advocate at Honeycomb
