Sasquatch vs Mezmo

Lossless.
Not a lossy pipeline.

Cut compute and storage by more than 80% — losslessly, in the cloud you already own.

Mezmo is a pipeline that drops, samples, and transforms data to shrink your bill — trading away the events you will wish you had mid-incident. Sasquatch keeps every byte, losslessly, and still comes in lower.

5 TB / month of K8s logs · 30-day retention · annual list · every figure traces to a published rate.

And a fraction of the total Mezmo bill — lossless, in the cloud you already own.

01Where the bill goes

One line item, not a meter stack.

The Mezmo bill splits across a stack of separately metered line items. Sasquatch is one rate on the compressed bytes you keep — the same workload, a fraction of the footprint. Each block is a real line item; the length is its share.

02The meter stack

One rate. Ingest, retain, and a pipeline upsell.

The same workload, two monthly statements. One is a single line you can forecast to the byte; the other is a stack of meters, each on its own unit, re-negotiated at every renewal.

03The compression

5 TB in. 50 GB out.

The full bar is the raw workload. The fill is what actually survives to disk after each product compresses it — shorter is cheaper to store, forever.

Pipeline reduces volume by dropping / transforming events — lossy by design. Stored bytes get gzip-class (~2×) compression only.
