Description

Is your Dynatrace DPS bill growing out of control?

Are your SRE teams drowning in alert noise?

Still running Classic Dashboards that need migrating to Grail?

Founder of Veristack (veristack-consulting.vercel.app), a fixed-scope Dynatrace consulting practice. I deliver verifiable outcomes with 100% remote and async delivery. No meetings, no dailies, no surprises. Written briefs replace calls, deliverables replace status reports.

Available packages:

- DPS Cost Optimization Audit (2 weeks)

- DPS Bucket Retention Recalibration with sample-based percentile bands (1-2 weeks)

- Tenant Taxonomy and Tag Canonicalization Audit (1-2 weeks)

- Log Ingestion Cost Control on Grail (2-3 weeks)

- Dashboard Migration Classic to Grail (2-3 weeks)

- Alert Noise Reduction and Operational Hardening (2 weeks)

- OpenPipeline DQL Processors Design and Rollout (2-3 weeks)

- OpenTelemetry Integration with Dynatrace (3 weeks)

- SLI/SLO Framework with MWMBR Burn-Rate Alerts (2-3 weeks)

Proven results (carrier-scale tenant, NDA):

- Recovered ~140k EUR/year through bucket retention recalibration (400d to 90d) on a 20TB bizevents store

- Identified 35% of host fleet in DISCOVERY mode without full-stack value, deprecation backlog delivered

- Built DQL processor library validated on 3.91TB query budget against a tenant of ~2B spans/day, 81.6M spans/hour peak

- Implemented MWMBR 4-window burn-rate SLO and alerting framework (99.99% availability, p95 under 100ms)

- Resolved tenant taxonomy duplication blocking production-scoped SLOs

- 40% reduction in log analysis latency through DQL-driven strategies

- Monitoring as Code (Monaco + Terraform) in Tier-1 banking
