Beyond Log Sampling: How to Build Sustainable Observability Cost Controls
Date: Thu, August 28, 2025
Location: Virtual | On Demand
Over 70% of observability spend goes toward storing logs that are never queried. Yet when costs spike, most teams respond with the same dangerous playbook: blind sampling, arbitrary data drops, and hasty cuts that eliminate critical signals along with noise.
As log volumes explode 250% year-over-year, engineering teams face an impossible choice: accept runaway costs or risk creating observability “blind spots” that could contribute to outages.
Tune in to learn:
- Why “collect everything” strategies are bankrupting engineering teams
- How to evolve from reactive cost-cutting to continuous, usage-based optimization
- Real-world frameworks for measuring data utility and building sustainable observability practices
