Questions

## Datadog: frequently asked

How do we keep Datadog costs predictable?

Decide which logs to index, limit custom metric tags, and review usage monthly. We set this up as part of the rollout, not after the first large invoice.

Can we move away from Datadog later?

It is easier if you instrument with OpenTelemetry and manage configuration as code. Dashboards and monitors still need rebuilding in the new tool.
