Telemetry infrastructure

How much is your telemetry estate really costing you?

Modern systems generate metrics, events, logs and traces everywhere. The cost compounds long before the data becomes useful. See what your infrastructure is producing.

Built for infrastructure, platform, SRE and engineering teams operating at scale.
The hidden infrastructure tax

Telemetry grows with every layer of the stack.

More machines, containers, services and requests create more signals. Then collection, transport, indexing, retention, cardinality and query infrastructure amplify the operational cost.

Most teams optimize the telemetry pipeline after the data already exists. CloakLabs is exploring a different approach to making complex systems understandable.

Telemetry Economics

How much telemetry is your infrastructure really generating?

Five rough inputs are enough to estimate your telemetry footprint across Metrics, Events, Logs and Traces.

Your telemetry footprint compounds quickly.

This model estimates MELT volume from your infrastructure shape and applies signal-aware cost assumptions.

Want to reduce your telemetry footprint?

We’re opening a small number of pilot slots for infrastructure teams dealing with high telemetry volume, rising observability cost, or retention pressure.

Estimates are directional, not a vendor quote. Hidden defaults are based on typical observability patterns and can be refined above. Actual costs vary by vendor, plan, discounts, compression, retention class, and workload mix.
