Totally fair. It's a fine line we have to walk.

Makes sense! Thanks for the feedback.

And yeah OpenTelemetry is where lots of the industry is going and so are we. You can already do cool things with us and the collector but we plan on automating a lot and expand on that.

A little bit about that in this commment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25995424

Sorry I don't know what happened here is a new youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooqBn1Q-y2Q

It's from this page: https://opstrace.com/docs/quickstart

It's definitely aspirational. With time and work the features gap (for the important ones) will narrow:-)

What we want to emphasize is that it is possible to build this and have the advantages of a Datadog without the drawbacks.

We are still experimenting with pricing and what can be open and closed. To be completely transparent we chose custom domains because we know companies care a lot. When we have more features on the commercial side we can start to chat about supporting it in the open version. Still early in our journey, happy to discuss anything, like a small plan with just custom domains. Would you pay for that?
