Why it works

The case study earns credibility by naming the exact failure mode of the previous vendor (rehydration billed as re-ingestion) and explaining precisely why sampling was technically impossible for Hapn's use case, not just inconvenient. The mechanism is clear: Axiom's Lambda extension plus APL virtual fields replaces a multi-vendor Frankenstein of CloudWatch, a log vendor, and Athena. The finance-team quote closes the loop on the emotional shift from cost chaos to budget predictability.

Steal this

Name the competitor's pricing trick by its exact mechanism (rehydration equals re-ingestion charge) so readers immediately recognise the pain and trust the alternative being presented.
