We price per GB of ingested trace - $0.3/GB, goes lower as you scale.
Traditional APM spans are ~2KB - this would come to ~$0.6/million spans.
How we arrived at $10 is that we assumed each agent span is ~35KB. Which means 1M spans is ~35GB - which comes to ~$10. Agent spans are larger because they have large prompts.
If your LLM spans are smaller, the cost would be lower. For our customers we see this vary between 20-30KB, and we took a conservative 35KB number.
"Oodle" to me will always be the compression library first and foremost, just like "pi" will always make me think first of the Raspberry Pi rather than the coding agent.
Perhaps someone should vibecode a product that allows AI developers to generate project names that don't come with confusing collision baggage.
Hi HN, Vijay here
Adding support for agent traces turned out to be a great learning experience - it pushed us to rethink and replace parts of our storage engine https://blog.oodle.ai/how-we-achieved-10-million-agent-spans...
Dang that’s expensive. We pay $0.75/M through a vendor

Good to know. Could you share your vendor and capabilities and pricing page please?
love oodle’s speed and the best in class mcp. excited to try out agent tracing and evaluate the accumulated failure patterns
