It's interesting (and mildly embarrassing) how much I used to think this too. Holy fuckola, how wrong I was.
Don't get me wrong, our storage engine is the rock upon which everything rests.
As the market matures over the next few years, our strategy and differentiation will shift away from "only we deliver o11y" to exploiting all the unusual capabilities of our storage tier. ๐๐
Subsecond ad hoc querying over weeks of webscale traffic.. unsampled? โ
Drill down from high level SLOs to see all of the dimensions, diffed in order of their degree of outlieriness vs the baseline? โ
The raw speed and flexibility unlocks soooooo many product daydreams.
But that's just good engineering. How to build a product that helps our customers achieve meaningful observability...that is a design problem.
Teaching people to lean into their curiosity and follow the signal? Design (and product) problem.
This time last year, we were hiring our first product leader, our very first design leader. We had ~9 people writing code.
We've been busy ๐ we now have four in product, seven in design, and just doubled our engineering firepower. Every single one of them is โจ๐amazing ๐ฅ๐คฉ๐
Huh? How is Honeycomb not exactly that, a managed platform for their custom DB?

Think about it. When we came to Twitter, it was a rather dark place. All the stories I've heard about it were negative. All the censorship. People attacking people. We turned Twitter Dark to Light. \u2728\u2728\u2728

Actually, this reminds me of ANOTHER story, this one I learned from a crusty old networking greybeard back in the day before *I* was a fresh-faced young hacker kiddie learning about networks and routing for the first time.

He told me that he had been working in Sub-Saharan Africa, setting up networks in rural areas, back in the late 80s. They would string copper cable between towns, but were, again, having a problem where cables were being stolen, in this case for the copper. 2/

Apparently in Kenya they were breaking in to the electrical transformers for the oil and then cooking with it. Kinda similar to what you're talking about.https://t.co/AIUEhVVOxO
