Do you really consider Scuba as good as datadog? Or splunk?
The article's arguments "Look if you squint logs and traces kinda overlap" misses the point that if you want to use traces effectively you need to be able to graph them as flame-graphs and also query these relationships ("count average number of userLogin spans that failed that have a subsequent succeeding userLogin span with the same userId and same originatingIp")
To be fair even the more advanced products struggle with sophisticated queries, though splunk and sumo have usually met my needs just fine. Honestly even SQL has an order of magnitude more powerful querying than scuba.
