It really never grokked with me why there isn't just "open source Datadog" that can be installed and used. End to end, stateful, that we can just self host.
Our team tried to set up open telemetry to replace Datadog and got totally crushed in complexity. The model of having Open Telemetry just be for standardizing & exporting to other backends, needing glue for each part of the setup was nuts.
