ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION MATRIXPROPRIETARY VS SELF-HOSTED

EVALUATION CRITERIA	PROPRIETARY (DATADOG)	OPEN SOURCE ALTERNATIVES
Deployment & Infra	Closed-source multi-tenant SaaS locked to vendor cloud	100% containerized deployment on private VPC or bare-metal
Data Sovereignty	Stored in proprietary cloud; restricted auditability	100% self-hosted PostgreSQL/S3 data ownership and SOC2 compliance
Cost & Seat Model	Infamously complex multi-tiered pricing per host/container/GB that causes astronomical monthly enterprise bills.	Zero per-seat licensing fees for unlimited internal & external team seats
Customization & CI/CD	Constrained to proprietary webhooks and plugin sandboxes	Full source-code access for private CI/CD, SSO/LDAP, and internal plugins
