im so sick of trying to manage cardinality on metrics in order to not feed the datadog beast

You know how much cheaper it is to run your own Prometheus (even with managed AWS service)?

Interestingly 90% of the aws prom service cost is in # of events ingested. LT storage/retention is almost free. With reasonable cardinality and scrape interval choices, you can have super manageable costs.

sure, never looked at managed aws pricing, but I'm traumatized from managing grafana/Kapacitor/influxdb and ELK stacks in the past so not really interested

We're not paying datadog THAT much. I've worked at a company giving them millions of dollars a year though and that probably should have been reevaluated
