for a practical observability stack for a 6-person team

We need traces and logs without hiring a full-time SRE. Right now we stitch screenshots from three tools during incidents. OpenTelemetry looks right, but the vendor choice is unclear. We ship weekly and cannot afford a six-month platform project. What has worked for small teams that still sleep at night? Especially interested in cost ceilings and onboarding time for juniors.
