Observability cost review
Analyse licensing, ingestion, cardinality and retention to show where spend is creating value—and where it is not.
Open observability consultancy
Sentic helps cloud-native teams control telemetry spend and reduce vendor lock-in with OpenTelemetry and production-ready open source.
What we solve
Reduce expensive telemetry without losing the operational evidence your teams depend on.
Analyse licensing, ingestion, cardinality and retention to show where spend is creating value—and where it is not.
Design vendor-neutral telemetry around OpenTelemetry, Prometheus and backends chosen for the workload rather than the contract.
Move in measured phases, keep the SaaS capabilities that earn their place and leave teams able to operate what comes next.
How we work
The goal is not open source at any cost. It is the right operating model at a cost the business can understand.
Build a defensible view of telemetry volume, usage and cost before recommending a new architecture.
Fix noisy collection, uncontrolled cardinality and inappropriate retention before changing platforms.
Deliver understandable systems, practical runbooks and capability that stays with the engineering team.
About Sentic
Open source is not zero-cost. It shifts value from licence fees into architecture, infrastructure and engineering capability.
Sentic helps organisations make that trade deliberately, then works alongside their teams to build dependable, maintainable observability platforms.
