Staff-level SREs and platform engineers at 50–500-person companies who own the observability bill and hate it. They already know the jargon; they want ammunition for the build-vs-buy fight and they respect vendors who show their pricing math in public.
- Observability pricing is broken (and what honest pricing looks like)
- Bootstrapping a devtool against VC-funded competitors
- On-call culture: what actually reduces pages
- Build-vs-buy decisions, argued with real numbers
