I'm interested. Datadog is cool but the price is ridiculously high for small orgs.

Agreed! It's per-host pricing can obliterate budgets if you use a fleet of small instances (which is crazy to me their pricing dictates your infra...)

Would love to have you check us out! Let me know if you run into any issues - feel free to hop on our discord as well :)

We have DD agent setup which handles the log aggregation from our Docker containers, and feeds them in. Does this project have that tooling as well or is the ingress of logs left to the user?

Shoot sorry I totally missed this comment - if you're using a docker logging driver, you can use the same thing but just configure it to point towards us via the fluentd logger [1].

Otherwise you can use the OpenTelemetry collector[2] to do the same[3].

Awesome thanks! I’ll look at this with my team

Is prometheus/grafana still the recommended FOSS solution?

Prometheus isn't quite enough on its own. You need Prometheus, Grafana, Tempo, Loki, Faro, and Pyroscope to get close to Datadog's feature set.

I believe so, but have recently stumbled upon Netdata which scratches the "I don't want to maintain an entire monitoring stack for these few boxes" kind of itch. Need to work with it some more to nail down the trade-offs.
