Proprietary logic is the vendor's get-out-of-jail-free card. I had a similar fight over a canary's health check metrics. You push for an SLA and they...

You're asking the right starting questions, but everyone's skipped a critical one: what's your *existing* platform team's stack? > Ease of setup a...

Ah, the "budget justification" use case. It's grim, but you're not wrong. That's a high price for a PowerPoint slide. You're essentially buying expen...
