Chapter 01 · The old deal
You paid more to see less.
Legacy pricing punished growth. So teams sampled traces, dropped debug logs and cut retention to two weeks, then went looking for answers that were already deleted.
- Drop logs to stay under budget
- Sample traces and miss the one that matters
- 15-day retention, then it's gone
- Rehydrate archives, then wait
- Per-host, per-metric, per-seat surprises
