We’d used Datadog for eight years and we never thought we could easily switch until Oodle proved otherwise. They migrated thousands of nodes, dashboards, and alerts in weeks. Performance improved, costs dropped, and they’ve been a dependable, transparent partner.

The real problem

AI agents changed debugging
Your architecture has to change too

Legacy disk-backed, fixed-compute architectures were designed for humans using dashboards—not AI agents issuing thousands of queries, in parallel, over full-fidelity telemetry.

Full-fidelity telemetry

Sampling exists because legacy observability makes storing everything too expensive. Always-on compute and indexing pipelines drive 5× higher costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the architecture matter — isn't this just another observability tool?

The architecture is the product. Legacy observability platforms were built on disk-backed, fixed-compute infrastructure — designed for humans generating logs at human speed. When AI agents generate telemetry at machine speed (10,000 events in 3 seconds, 1,000 parallel queries per incident), that architecture either collapses under load or bills you into oblivion. Oodle separates storage from compute: telemetry lands on S3 (elastic, cheap, never needs provisioning), and queries run on serverless compute (spins up per request, scales to any concurrency). The result is full-fidelity telemetry you can actually afford to keep, and query performance that doesn't degrade as your data grows.

A single agent workflow can trigger 10,000 log events in 3 seconds. Legacy platforms bill per event. At 100 agents in parallel, that's $14,000+ per month in unexpected charges — before you've even asked a question. Disk-backed architectures also fall over when agents fire thousands of parallel investigative queries; fixed compute clusters weren't designed for that pattern. Oodle stores everything on S3 and queries run serverlessly, so cost stays flat and performance scales automatically.

What does "debug in plain English" actually mean in practice?

You type a question — "why did checkout fail for iOS users in the last 30 minutes?" — and Oodle queries across logs, metrics, and traces simultaneously to find the answer. No PromQL, no manual log filtering, no switching between tools. Available via the Oodle AI Assistant in-browser, or from Cursor and Claude Code via the Oodle MCP server. Engineers at Fello and Labra describe it as their primary debugging workflow: ask the question, get the RCA, move on.

Is it really 5× cheaper? How should I think about the cost model?

The difference comes from how Oodle charges: by data volume (GB ingested), not by events, spans, hosts, or seats. At 100GB logs/day, 50GB traces/day, and 500K active time series, the math works out to ~$2,350/mo on Oodle versus ~$12k/mo on Datadog's per-event/per-span pricing — roughly 5×. Savings compound at scale. Verified by Lookout (80% reduction), Curefit (3×), and others. Calculate your numbers →

How long does drop-in migration actually take?

Grafana and Elastic: 2–3 hours to connect, a day or two to validate. Full migrations (the scale of Lookout — 1,000s of nodes, 2,000+ alerts, 300+ dashboards): 2–6 weeks. The process is 1-click dashboard and alert import, keep your existing agents with no code changes, run both systems in parallel, cut over when you're confident. View migration guides →

What does "enterprise-grade" mean in concrete terms?

SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, SSO/SAML, RBAC, 99.9% uptime SLA, petabyte-scale capacity, p99 < 800ms query latency at 20TB+/day and 125M+ time series/hour. Oodle never uses your data to train models. Three deployment options: SaaS (Oodle manages everything), BYOB (your S3, your encryption), or BYOC (full stack in your VPC, network isolation, your KMS keys, zero data egress). Built by engineers behind Amazon S3, DynamoDB, Snowflake, and Rubrik.
