We Kept Datadog from Blowing Up Our AWS Bill

This format is tedious to read. What’s the conclusion? Log less?

I’m quite familiar will all of the services involved here, both on the AWS side and the Datadog side, yet I can’t follow this article. What information is it trying to relay? It’s verbose and light on details.

So by attempting to use Datadog to help track and thereby offset some of the costs of what would be considered minor data ended up driving up costs due to the sheer number of these requests? Is this a problem that is more centered around serverless?
