Whitepapers Observability Cloud Costs

How Much Should I Be Spending On Observability?

Back in 2018, Charity wrote a blog post where she observed that teams with good observability spent around ~20-30% of their infrastructure bill to get it. In 2025, that number is vastly different.

In this whitepaper, Charity goes over:

  • How much people are paying for observability in 2025
  • The difference between investments and costs
  • Why costs have ballooned
  • Who should own your observability bill
  • Model-agnostic cost drivers
  • Vendor consolidation
  • Telemetry pipelines
  • and more!

This comprehensive whitepaper will teach you everything you need to know about observability costs, and how much you should be spending.
