How Much Should I Be Spending On Observability?
In 2018, I dashed off a punchy little blog post in which I observed that teams with good observability seemed to spend around ~20-30% of their infra bill to get it. I also noted this was based on absolutely no data, only my own experiences and a bunch of anecdotes, heavily weighted towards startups and the mid-market tech sector. This post should have ridden off into the sunset years ago. To my horror, I have seen it referenced more in the past year than in all preceding years combined.
