Midnight moonshot 🌙

A deep-dive breakdown of what a typical 100-engineer team actually spends on their fragmented monitoring stack (Datadog + PagerDuty + StatusPage + Sentry + more). The math comes out to $900K-$1.5M/year when you include hidden costs.

This is the kind of post that gets shared on HN and Reddit — it puts real numbers to the pain everyone feels but nobody quantifies. Positions OneUptime as the obvious consolidation play.

SEO targets: observability cost, monitoring stack cost, Datadog pricing, observability tax
