# What Are the Best Observability Pipeline Solutions for Reducing Log Ingestion Costs?

The clearest proof would be a before-and-after cost-per-GB comparison, not just lower ingest volume. A pipeline can trim telemetry aggressively, but the real win is reducing downstream spend without filtering out the data teams still need during an incident.
