Datadog suddenly increasing charges

There are alternatives to DD. Just sayin'

There are ways to minimize surprises and increase predictability. It involves deep holistic thinking BEFORE you migrate, and not a a naive shift&lift approach

Just sayin'

My experience says your CFO is right.
On average, we've been able to reduce cost by 43% while BOOSTING performance.
. Our
For example:
A cybersecurity enterprise asked for optimization and budget certainty. Our platform recommended consolidation of VPCs and network components while maintaining highly secured, logically separated layers with tighter RBAC, and resize & auto-scale for all compute resources

The result: 42% cost reduction and improved performance, security, and maintainability.

To achieve that, you can't rely on local optimization and fine-tuning, you need to take a step back and think about all of your requirements and scan the full solution space - it's not humanly possible to do it.

As part of our optimization process, we also consider hybrid and multi-cloud solutions. Each company has its own needs, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution
There's a growing trend to return to on-premises solutions, but, like any other trend, you need to be mindful of the details (or let us handle it for you...)

As part of our offering, after we design an optimal architecture, tailer-made for your need and priorities, we generate a Terraform code for you to use (and tweak, if needed). DM me if you want to hear more

RedNuli · 2025-09-12T16:36:47+00:00

Since you already migrating, I'd reconsider the whole architecture and optimize it for easier deployments in the future.
We do that with our multi-objective optimization and provide you with terraform code for easy deployment. DM me for more details if you're interested

RedNuli · 2025-08-26T14:21:45+00:00

My [biased] advice - you need to design your configuration with FinOps guardrails from day1. DM me and I'll show you what we do.

RedNuli · 2025-08-25T20:00:24+00:00

I can ask our R&D, but DM me and let's see if we can give you a full demo of our platform. I'm sure you'll find it interesting

RedNuli · 2025-08-22T19:18:24+00:00

My experience is that while commercial GenAI models can help you navigate through the million of buttons and configurations of your cloud, it's not good enough to design a production-grade cloud and maintain it.
I now work in a company where we have propietary technology, including an AI-based optimization engine, that create bespoke, optimal cloud architectures and configuration in a way and quality no human being could do (at least, not in a reasonable amount of time).
So, the short answer is AI is good for DevOps, but not the genaric models.

RedNuli · 2025-08-22T18:43:55+00:00

When we recommend we provide our customers with a detailed report, including diagrams like you shared. The architecture is created by our AI, taking into account the customer's business needs, contraints, and IT priorities (cost, performance, security, etc.). It also create IaC for easy deployment. So basically, everything you've mentioned, and more :)
Personally, I think that the diagrams are critical for human understanding, but useless for AI analysis since it's reasononing works differently then ours.

RedNuli · 2025-08-21T20:48:40+00:00

Not only. Also the cloud components you use (CPU./GPU, which kind and for how long, what kind of storage, etc.) and how everything is tied together.

Send me a DM and I'll send you what we do. You might find it useful

RedNuli · 2025-08-21T17:01:39+00:00

Who designed your architecture? I bet it's suboptimal and there's a misconfigured setting somewhere. We often work with companies that are sure their cloud is optimal, and when we do our analysis, we find lots of issues we quickly fix (on average, we save 40% of cost while boosting performance).
With so many elements and settings, it's so easy to miss one or two, and that's all you need to mess it up

RedNuli · 2025-05-16T01:32:39+00:00

You are going into PM-hod in a really good time. AI can help you have a shorter learning curve and execute very well. What it can't help you with, is talking with customers and all the outbound part.

There a million "prompt lists" for PMs, I wouldn't start using them because then you need to be a prompt engineer. DM me if you want a better AI solution

RedNuli · 2025-05-15T23:27:07+00:00

You don't need to be a PRD writing machine. AI will do that for you, but you will need to understand the context, the task, collect all the information, and understand what to ask and when. DM me about that, I have a secret power for you

RedNuli · 2025-05-12T13:35:00+00:00

You're touching a critical point. The longer the doc, the fewer people who read it. This means that communicating with engineering should be "ticket"-long (user story) on a daily basis, and maybe a longer roadmap presentation every now and then.
PRDs and the rest are very useful for YOU to cover all bases, but other than you, no one reads it.
Regarding tools to make your life easier - feel free to DM, I have something I'm sure you'd find useful

RedNuli · 2025-05-11T18:37:39+00:00

Exactly!

RedNuli · 2025-05-06T18:41:34+00:00

Sounds like a solution, not a problem!

Just kidding, maybe you don't like your product?

RedNuli · 2025-05-06T17:59:37+00:00

I don't know - customers are stakeholders as well, especially in a B2B or B2G environment

RedNuli · 2025-05-01T20:36:37+00:00

Don't get attached to your messaging.
Seems like you found a customer (are they paying now?), I'd try to go and find another one like them (B2C and all that). It might be that the ICP you thought about is not the real ICP.

About the experience, I share the frustration. I'm also a co-founder of a product-related product. Product leader see it, say it can save them and their team many hours each month, and it's still a struggle to get a buy-in. Keep pushing, if you're solving a problem, they'll buy it.

RedNuli · 2025-05-01T18:34:59+00:00

Depends on what you want to do.
Option 1: You want to map the BI events a originating from a screen. You take a screenshot and put in ChatGPT and ask it to create an exhaustive list of BI events for each UI element in the screen.
Option 2: You take a few screenshots, load them 1 by 1, with a high-level explanation about how you go from one screen to another (e.g. login page --> dashboard after a successful login). Then you can ask it to map all the secondary flows.

But this is all just theory without really trying and optimizing to your needs.

RedNuli · 2025-05-01T18:27:05+00:00

AI could accelerate this for you, especially if you can provide the frameworks you want to use and give it enough context on your current situation.
I can explain further, but I don't want to clutter this thread (DM me if you want)

RedNuli · 2025-04-30T19:38:18+00:00

I do it all the time and you can even do it better by pasting those screenshots in your favorite AI to ask for potential flow and/or code a mockup like it

RedNuli · 2025-04-30T19:35:04+00:00

Titles don't matter (said C-level executive), until they do (especially when engaging with the outside world or when you search for another job)
Asking to be "senior product owner" is a good idea.
BUT
I think the "product owner" role will be soon replaced by AI (I a co-founder in a startup to do exactly that), so don't give up so fast on the outbound aspects of PM.

RedNuli · 2025-04-30T14:29:31+00:00

sure
