Observability Cost Reduction

Reduce observability TCO 75% without reducing reliability

Grepr helps engineering and platform teams reduce noisy telemetry data before it’s sent to your expensive observability platform. Keep the observability tools you already uses, preserve raw data, and stop paying full price for noise.

Observability costs are unsustainable and don't scale in the AI era

More services, more releases, and AI-assisted development all create more telemetry. 90% of it is just noise, but you’re paying to store all of it.

Grepr changes the economics by automatically eliminating the noise and reducing your observability TCO by 75%.

Expensive bills force you to drop data

The consequence

When observability costs spiral, teams build toilsome pipeline rules that drop data. Not having the data you need during an incident impedes investigations and drives up MTTR.

Cut observability costs without losing visibility

Grepr’s Autonomous Telemetry Pipeline automatically reduces observability TCO by 75%, keeping raw data in low-cost storage, available for immediate backfill.

Spend less. Focus on the signal.

Collect everything. Pay only for signal.

Grepr’s signal processing engine separates signal from noise, forwarding compressed, low-noise data to your existing observability tools.

Reduce observability spend without losing visibility

Grepr eliminates sending noisy telemetry to high-cost observability platforms.

Full fidelity when you need it

Raw telemetry remains queryable in low-cost storage for backfill and fine-granularity access when needed. Store it as long as you like in your own storage bucket.

Keep your current tooling. No migrations.

Grepr works seamlessly with Datadog, New Relic, Splunk, Grafana Cloud, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, and common collectors.

How Grepr solves the limitations of traditional approaches

Instead of collecting less

Creates blind spots, and Developer adherence is inconsistent.

With Grepr

Collect as much as you want, and let Grepr separate the signal from the noise.

Instead of shortening retention

Risks creating blind spots during outages. Compliance may mandate longer retention.

With Grepr

Keep raw telemetry in a low-cost data lake and back-fill data when investigations need it.

Instead of sampling or dropping data

Requires months of engineering resources. Arbitrary approach leads to missing context and higher MTTR.

With Grepr

Collect everything, and let Grep’s signal processing engine automatically separate signal from noise.

Instead of observability reviews

Observability cost reviews and quota negotiations slow down deployments.

With Grepr

Collect everything and ship now.

Eliminate observability noise in production.

"Grepr helped us automate what to keep and what to skip, so we’re not paying to store or index noise. It lets us find the needle in the haystack without paying for the haystack!"

How Jitsu Cut Logging Costs by 90% While Managing Millions of Shipments Generating 400 Logs Each

"Since we deployed Grepr, we’re seeing a 95% reduction in log volume and didn’t have to change a thing in our app. I'd recommend Grepr to any team that's experiencing rising costs from an expensive logging platform!"
Dave Bortz, VP Engineering at FOSSA

Case Study: How FOSSA Reduced Their Logs by 95% Without Burdening Their Engineers

“Engineers didn't change how they work at all. Dashboards and alerts still worked as expected. We just stopped paying for 90% of our log volume that was never doing anything for us.”
Ben Ede, Director of Engineering at Envoy

9 Days from Kickoff to Production: How Envoy Cut Log Volume by 90%

“After seeing what Grepr did to reduce our logs noise, extending it to traces was an easy call. We were seeing the same pattern: a lot of volume, most of it not particularly useful, and a Datadog billing model that scaled with every new host we spun up.”

FAQs

What are observability costs?

Observability costs are the expenses associated with collecting, ingesting, indexing, storing, retaining, and analyzing telemetry data such as logs, metrics, traces, and events. These costs often grow as engineering teams add more services, generate more telemetry, and rely more heavily on observability platforms for reliability and incident response.

Why do observability costs get so high?

Observability costs rise when telemetry volume grows faster than teams can manage it. More applications, microservices, releases, logs, metrics, and traces can all increase paid ingest and storage. Costs also grow when teams send repetitive or low-signal telemetry into premium observability platforms even when that data rarely improves troubleshooting or reliability decisions.

How does Grepr reduce observability costs?

Grepr reduces observability costs by up to 75% by eliminating low-value, noisy telemetry before it reaches expensive observability platforms. Grepr forwards high-value signal and summaries to your existing observability  platforms while preserving the noisy, raw telemetry in low-cost storage for incidents, investigations, and historical context.

Does Grepr replace Datadog, Splunk, New Relic, or Grafana Cloud?

No. Grepr is designed to work with existing observability platforms such as Datadog, Splunk, New Relic, Grafana Cloud, CloudWatch, and OpenTelemetry-compatible tools. The goal is to make those tools more cost-effective by reducing noisy telemetry before it drives additional ingest, indexing, or storage costs.

Does reducing observability costs mean dropping logs, metrics, or traces?

Not with Grepr’s recommended approach. Grepr sends low-value, noisy observability data to a low-cost data lake, which can backfill your observability platform as-desired. This helps you lower costs without creating the same blind spots that can come from simply dropping data or sampling too aggressively.

Can Grepr help reduce Datadog costs?

Yes. Grepr can support teams using Datadog by reducing noisy telemetry before it reaches Datadog while preserving raw data for later access. See how Jitsu reduced Datadog log costs by 90% with Grepr.

Who should use Grepr for observability cost reduction?

Grepr is a strong fit for engineering, platform, and SRE teams that want a scalable and automated platform that eliminates low-value, noisy telemetry in order to reduce their observability TCO by up to 75% without needing to migrate from existing observability tooling

What is the safest way to reduce observability costs?

The safest way to reduce observability costs is to ensure low-value, noisy telemetry is accessible in a low-cost data lake, in case it’s needed during an incident. That means avoiding blunt approaches like dropping data permanently or forcing developers to log less.

Can Grepr backfill telemetry when teams need more detail?

Yes. Grepr can backfill raw telemetry automatically during an incident or as-needed during an investigation. 

Is Grepr only for log cost reduction?

No. Grepr’s Automated Telemetry Pipeline can also eliminate noisy traces and metrics (coming summer 2026). Grepr is also a full-service telemetry pipeline: Its unique, stateful streaming SQL engine goes beyond simple transformations and handles complex, real-time joins to enrich data in ways other pipelines can’t.
