UPSTREAM · DATA OPS STACK REBUILD
For SaaS engineering · 50–500 engineers · $200K–$700K data ops spend

Datadog + Sentry + Segment + Mixpanel.
Four observability taxes. One rebuild.

The standard SaaS engineering data ops stack typically costs $200K–$700K/yr at mid-stage. All four wrap commodity OSS: LGTM (Grafana stack) for Datadog, Sentry IS open source, RudderStack for Segment, PostHog for Mixpanel. We deploy the OSS equivalents in one bundled engagement on your AWS. One project. One contract. One unified ops stack.

What each of the four tools wraps

Four wrappers. All wrap OSS.

Each tool in the standard data ops stack wraps a commodity open-source primitive. Datadog ≈ LGTM. Sentry IS Sentry (literally the same code). Segment ≈ RudderStack. Mixpanel ≈ PostHog. We deploy the OSS originals — same UX, your AWS, no per-host / per-event / per-MTU pricing.

TOOL 1 · OBSERVABILITY

Datadog → LGTM

Wraps ClickHouse + Prometheus + Grafana. Per-host + per-log + per-test pricing. LGTM stack (Loki + Grafana + Tempo + Mimir) is the open-source Grafana Labs equivalent.

Y2+ STEADY-STATE

TOOL 2 · ERROR TRACKING

sentry.io → self-hosted Sentry

Sentry IS open source (BSL). sentry.io charges to host the same code base. Deploy it yourself on your AWS at every event volume.

TOOL 3 · CDP / EVENT ROUTER

Segment → RudderStack

Wraps HTTP webhooks + transformations + queue. RudderStack (Apache 2.0) is the Segment-SDK-compatible open-source equivalent.

Y1 SEGMENT

TOOL 4 · PRODUCT ANALYTICS

Mixpanel → PostHog

Wraps ClickHouse + dashboarding. PostHog (MIT) is feature-parity Mixpanel alternative with funnels, retention, cohorts, replay, feature flags.

Bundled engagement amortises deploy costs across 4 tools — net Y1 reclaim is greater than the sum of separate rebuilds. Plus shared infrastructure: one Postgres, one ClickHouse, one identity layer.

Bundle vs separate engagements

Why all four at once beats four sequential.

Three reasons the bundle costs ~85% of four separate deploys, ships in ~50% of the time, and produces a more cohesive operational stack.

Many teams start with one (typically Datadog — sharpest math + most strategic to own) and add modules within 6 months. Bundle pricing applies if you commit to all four within 6 months.

Bundle pricing

Fixed price. All four modules.

One contract, one ship date. Bundle pricing assumes all four modules ship together; à-la-carte pricing per tool is on each individual rebuild page.

Questions about a bundled data ops rebuild

"What if…"

Can we sequence the rebuild instead of all at once?▾
Yes. Most teams start with Datadog or Sentry (sharpest math) and add modules within 6 months. Bundle pricing applies if you commit to all four within 6 months. Outside that, each is priced individually.
Which order makes sense?▾
Lowest risk first. Typical: (1) Sentry (no user-facing change, fastest payback), (2) Datadog (engineer adoption fastest), (3) Segment (drop-in SDK), (4) Mixpanel (analytics teams retrain). Each cutover gets a 1-week pilot.
What if we use Splunk + Amplitude + Hightouch instead?▾
Same bundle price for Splunk → LGTM and Amplitude → PostHog (same architecture). Hightouch → built-in Reverse ETL adds $8–14K. We rebuild whichever variant of the data ops stack you actually run.
How does shared infrastructure save money?▾
One ClickHouse cluster serves both Sentry events and PostHog analytics events (same database engine). One Postgres serves Mimir + RudderStack metadata. One S3 bucket for long-term storage. ~30% lower infrastructure cost vs four separate deploys, plus much simpler ops.
What about cross-module data flow?▾
Native. An error in Sentry can link to the trace in Tempo, the user session in PostHog, and the tracked events in RudderStack — all queryable from one Grafana dashboard. Datadog charges extra for this; we ship it built-in.
What about uptime / reliability?▾
All four OSS systems have production deployments at companies far larger than us. 99.9%+ uptime achievable on a properly-deployed AWS multi-AZ setup. Datadog's hosted SLA is 99.95%; ours matches with proper HA configuration.
Who owns everything?▾
You. Helm + Terraform config in your GitHub. All four systems run in your AWS account. No Allied infrastructure in the loop.
