Should we migrate away? about logs-js HOT 2 OPEN

Holy that sounds far too high for BQ usage, unless you're running tons of queries against many months of data perhaps, it does depend on the usage, I spend about $30/mo for roughly 70gb/mo for comparison. How much data does your product listing show? 188TB sounds way too high — so far in my billing usage reporting I'm still the largest Apex Logs customer.

I did design Apex Logs more for the "collect huge amounts of logs, query (relatively) infrequently" use-case, but I wouldn't expect to see that kind of cost until you're up in 300gb+ and doing many queries against the entire dataset. It's partitioned by the hour, so if you query the past 6 hours or day etc it should be a small subset of the logs.

To be completely transparent though I think I'm going to be selling and/or shutting down the company next year unfortunately, so it may not make sense long-term. I should have an announcement in a month or two once I figure out the details, but I'm going to open-source as much as I can, if I can get Logs working well as OSS then it'll be free aside from the GCP bill.

In either case I'm happy to cover those surprise costs if you'd like, that doesn't sound quite right.

Many thanks for the straightforward feedback. I'll discuss with my team and see what they think. And much appreciated with regards to the costs but your attentive replies are more than enough!
