Dealer Blue Sky’s 75% savings with Better Stack

Dealer Blue Sky, a company that develops software solutions for automotive dealerships, has achieved over 75% savings in monitoring costs by using Better Stack instead of Datadog, thanks to its unified, predictable, and transparent platform. The company prioritized observability from the start, opting for Better Stack due to its simplicity and cost-efficiency, which allowed seamless integration without external support. This move enabled Dealer Blue Sky to effectively manage its infrastructure, including self-managed hardware, 12 core services, and numerous Docker containers, by using Better Stack's unified dashboards and heartbeats feature for efficient incident response and performance monitoring. The observability platform's integration has provided the company with real-time visibility, streamlined root-cause analysis, and significant cost savings, reducing monitoring expenses to below $350 per month compared to the higher costs associated with Datadog.
