First of all: I love the idea, effort and everything in general. So take my comment lightly.

Datadog is big because they shipped a gazillion integrations across I don't know how many products.

Anytime I see a "alternative to Datadog" I think: so you are going to have an agent and integrations page that integrates with everything from HAproxy to Kafka to the full AWS and Azure API's and etc. etc. etc?

Thanks. You make an interesting point. That is actually something we are constantly asked by our users. I guess our approach would be to prioritise developing of integrations based on community demand, and as we mature as a project - we would possibly have integrations contributed by community also.

Though one thing which is making things a bit simpler for us is the increasing maturity of opentelemetry ( https://opentelemetry.io/ ) It is an instrumentation library which supports many languages and frameworks, and by supporting Opentelemetry we get at least instrumentation for many languages and framework in one go.
