And how are you solving the problem? The article does not say.

> I'm answering the question your observability vendor won't

There was no question answered here at all. It's basically a teaser designed to attract attention and stir debate. Respectfully, it's marketing, not problem solving. At least, not yet.

theres more information here https://docs.usetero.com/introduction/how-tero-works the link in the article is broken.

They determine what events/fields are not used and then add filters to your observability provider so you dont pay to ingest them.

The question is answered in the post: ~40% on average, sometimes higher. That's a real number from real customer data.

But I'm an engineer at heart. I wanted this post to shed light on a real problem I've seen over a decade in this space that is causing a lot of pain; not write a product walkthrough. But the solution is very much real. There's deep, hard engineering going on: building semantic understanding of telemetry, classifying waste into verifiable categories, processing it at the edge. It's not simple, and I hope that comes through in the docs.

The docs get concrete if you want to peruse: https://docs.usetero.com/introduction/how-tero-works
