@JustJake We are using LGTM OSS with OTEL. Its a nightmare to manage but management is happy because they dont have to pay datadog/newrlic cost

@British_Airways can someone from you team contact me regarding this

[Bilal Ahmad @bilahmad99]

@British_Airways has the worst customer service ever.
1- they cancel the ticket with short notice and send the vouchers which can only be used by calling not online.
2- takes hours for them to pick up the call and when they finally do and arrange for booking with voucher

[Bilal Ahmad @bilahmad99]

8- the amount of money they make with the unused vouchers is insane
9- if you end up trying and using your voucher they make your life miserable.

As you become more authentic some people will feel uncomfortable and that’s ok because your role in life isn’t to be liked, it’s to like yourself.

For a personal project on AWS it can feel silly to pay $16.40/mo for a load balancer in front of a $2.70/mo container, just to get TLS termination and zero-downtime deployments.

Try API GW instead. It’s much cheaper, but I rarely see people doing this
