Modern observability has turned into a cost crisis, with bills sometimes reaching the billion-dollar range.
We’ve created a smarter way to help companies take control of these costs. Here are seven key ways Kloudfuse empowers you to save on expenses while providing state-of-the-art observability.
Flat Pricing Model
SaaS observability vendors charge based on data volume and usage. Kloudfuse offers a flat pricing model, eliminating unpredictable overage fees. By deploying Kloudfuse in your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), you maintain full control over costs and avoid month-end billing surprises.
Avoid Egress Fees
Egress fees—the cost of transferring data from your cloud to a vendor—can add up as you continuously monitor and collect data. You are constantly observing and racking up costs. Since Kloudfuse isn’t a SaaS solution, you can avoid these fees by hosting it directly in your VPC, keeping data within your infrastructure and saving significantly over time.
Unified Platform to Simplify Engineering
Kloudfuse consolidates metrics, logs, traces, and more into a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple tools. This unification reduces engineering time that would otherwise be spent on manual integration work, lowers the administrative overhead of managing various tools, and boosts overall productivity and cost-efficiency. Kloudfuse also supports open standards like OpenTelemetry and common query languages, so you can easily find engineers with the right skills without being tied to a specific vendor.
Leverage Your Cloud Credits and Discounts
Deploy Kloudfuse in your VPC to take full advantage of your cloud credits and discounts from providers like AWS, GCP, or Azure. SaaS vendors charge premiums for using their infrastructure, but Kloudfuse allows you to purchase cloud resources directly, helping you save significantly.
Better Resource Management
Kloudfuse provides a control plane that lets you manage the amount of data you collect and process, helping you control your cloud costs. You can capture everything for maximum troubleshooting accuracy or optimize for cost by adjusting data granularity and retention based on your needs—only paying for what's necessary.
Advanced Data Shaping and Transformation
Kloudfuse helps you reduced your data volumes through using aggregations and data transformations. By focusing on storing and processing only the most valuable data critical to your troubleshooting and long-term compliance, you can significantly lower your overall costs.
Lower Storage Footprint with Deduplication and Compression
Observability data, especially logs, can consume vast amounts of storage. Kloudfuse minimizes this with deduplication and compression, powered by its Finger Printing technology. Compressed logs can be stored in cost-efficient solutions like S3, further reducing storage expenses.
Conclusion
Kloudfuse offers a smarter, cost-effective approach to observability. With its flat pricing, VPC deployment, advanced data management tools, and a unified platform, it helps you manage observability costs predictably while delivering top-tier capabilities.
