Three key considerations for deploying best-of-breed observability
summary
ChaosSearch shows a workflow that streams logs into S3, exposes Elastic and SQL APIs, and answers whether logs can stay hot, be queried fast, and cost far less. Customers report 50–80% typical cost reduction and one case study cites 90% savings at Equifax, plus SRE teams regain about 15–20 hours per week. Example pricing comparison: Datadog at $2.80/GB vs an addressed 20¢/GB by offloading retention.
