Rising bill
Contain cost without losing visibility.
Observability Optimisation.
Fewer unused series, tuned sampling and refined detectors to contain cost and noise.
The problem we solve.
Observability tends to grow unchecked: time series nobody queries, excessive traces and detectors that alert on everything. Cost rises and useful signal gets diluted.
What’s included.
- Usage and cost analysis
- Cardinality reduction
- Review of sampling and retention
- Detector tuning
- Savings tracking
How we work.
Five phases, always in the same order. Select each one to see what happens in it. In full projects they map onto the stages of our method.
We review what's monitored today, with which tools, which incidents went unnoticed and what it costs.
We design the collection layer with OpenTelemetry: agents, gateways, egress paths, common attributes and sampling.
We reduce cardinality, adjust sampling and retention and tune noisy detectors.
We measure usage and cost before and after each change.
We tune cardinality, sampling and detectors based on real usage to contain cost and noise.

Frequently asked questions.
Can cost be reduced without losing information?
Usually yes, because part of the data is never queried. We measure this before touching anything.
How often should it be reviewed?
At least every quarter, or after major changes to applications.
What about usage limits?
We configure tokens and limits per team to avoid surprises.
