How Much Should My Observability Stack Cost?

This article explores the often-overlooked question of how much a company should budget for its observability tools. It critiques vendor pricing vagueness and argues that under-investing in observability leads to hidden engineering costs. The author proposes a rule of thumb based on industry experience: observability spend should be 20-30% of total infrastructure costs to avoid inefficiency and technical debt.
