I mean no slander or disrespect to anyone involved, but there was a DataDog alternative posted sometime in the last few weeks that had a docker-compose with like 15 containers in it. Required running a few different Typescript servers, a Clickhouse instance, Redis, MySQL, the lot of it. I'm sure it was a fully-featured service that made adequate use of those resources, but it also reminded me of why people pay out the wazoo for DataDog: nobody wants to manage all that stuff!
EDIT: the repo linked in the GP contains 3 instances of what you could call databases: MariaDB, Mongo, and Redis. There doesn't appear to be any explanation in the deployment docs for why all three are necessary.
It took them a decade and permanently tarnished their perception with many programmers. They "made it through" in a similar way to how cancer survivors enter remission.
