    Why is 77rushi77's comment flagged + dead? Seemed like a good question.

    Edit: Looks like it's been restored.

      Looks like it's because of:

      > Don't post generated text or AI-edited text. HN is for conversation between humans.

      But who can tell, you could ask the mods (email found in the guidelines)

    The Scuba example is convincing for debugging. What the post doesn’t cover is cost. If you keep raw wide events instead of pre-aggregating, how do you handle storage and query cost at scale? Is sampling the main lever, or do teams still keep cheap metrics for alerting and use events only for investigation?
