This article discusses how SIEM costs escalate with growing telemetry and illustrates, using an OpenSearch example, that compute drives most expense while storage is comparatively cheap; it proposes shifting to a data lake model that decouples storage (object storage) from compute (serverless) to reduce costs, scale on demand, and maintain visibility, setting up a follow-up on implementation details.
