If you want my two Datadog favourite features, they were: 1) clicking on a field and making it a custom search dimension in another click, and 2) flame graphs. Delicious flame graphs.
We should have both! If you hover over a property value, a magnify/plus icon come up to allow you to search on that property value (no manual facets required) - and our traces all come with delicious flame graphs :) Let me know if you were thinking of something different.
One other thing I think you'd love if you're coming from Datadog is that you're able to full text search on structured logs as well, so even if the value you're looking for lives in a property, it's still full text searchable (this is a huge pain we hear from other Datadog users)
If there's anything you love/hate about Datadog - would love to learn more!
Well - the worst thing about Datadog is the sales process :-) But I'll save that for my memoirs. I seem to remember at the time their K8s/Helm integration was a little buggy, but no other pain than that. Plugging our software in was very easy, I recall. We had Python in the backend and we just installed their software and wired it into our API services. I also remember they had a consumer for Auth0 via Auth0's log streaming feature, which we were using at the time.
Btw I haven't checked your product out yet; I was just reminiscing :-) I'll take a look soon.
