Datadog’s $65M/year customer mystery solved. Anyone looking at your platform costs and try to right size?

We are looking at our platform cost, but primarily AWS at the moment (EC2). What cost tooling do you use to support decision making? Esp. for kubernetes

Been looking around, and I don't see a lot of talks on reducing costs. Might be a great opportunity if someone has been doing this.

Hi @Jelmer Borst, we typically save people around 60% on their AWS infrastructure costs. But we're an external development platform/pre-fab IDP, which may not be what you're looking for. If you're not looking for that sort of thing, have you looked at DuckBillGroup?
