The Observability Imperative Report: Technical and Strategic Forces Reshaping Infrastructure in 2026

“We cut our costs in half and now have full coverage in prod, dev, and testing environments where we previously had to limit it due to cost concerns.”

“Observability used to be scattered and unreliable. With groundcover, we finally have one consolidated, no-touch solution we can rely on.“

“We went from limited visibility to a full-cluster view in no time. groundcover’s eBPF tracing gave us deep Kubernetes insights with zero months spent on instrumentation.”

“The POC took only a day and suddenly we had trace-level insight. groundcover was the snappiest, easiest observability platform we’ve touched.”

“All vendors charge on data ingest, some even on users, which doesn’t fit a growing company. One of the first things that we liked about groundcover is the fact that pricing is based on nodes, not data volumes, not number of users. That seemed like a perfect fit for our rapid growth”

“We got a bill from Datadog that was more then double the cost of the entire EC2 instance”

“We ditched Datadog’s integration overhead and embraced groundcover’s eBPF approach. Now we get full-stack Kubernetes visibility, auto-enriched logs, and reliable alerts across clusters with zero code changes.”
