Observability ROI calculator
Estimate what better observability saves in engineering time and revenue, against what it costs.
How it works
Faster detection and diagnosis shorten every incident. The saving is the hours not spent, by the people involved, plus the revenue not lost while users were affected.
saving = hours saved × (people × hourly cost + revenue per hour) − tool costQuestions
Where does the speed-up come from?
Mostly from less time spent finding the cause: traces, logs and metrics in one place instead of guessing.
What isn’t counted?
Fewer incidents overall, less burnout and fewer escalations, which usually make the real return higher.
