Feedback: Slack bot visualizing metrics from Prometheus and Datadog

Hi there, I've been a long time lurker in indie hackers communities, and then finally built a product of my own, starting from a need I had at my daily job. The product is GraphMe: https://graphme.app/

It is essentially a Slack bot that allows to get graphs on demand from metrics stored in Prometheus and Datadog (others to come if there are requesrts). It is targeting devops engineers using Slack as their collaboration tool, and struggling to efficiently share graphs from their time series database. I took great inspiration from Hubot, GitHub's own bot.

I won't repeat everything here, since I already described my thoughts process here: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/graphme/how-i-came-up-with-the-idea-of-graphme--NL_IULajzx72teiRruA

While I had fun building the product, I am now trying to get feedback about the idea and validate there is a (probably niche) market. I have found no existing product doing the same (which kind of worries me at times!), but seeing companies like GitHub using that kind of tool and knowing my own struggles tells me there should be a need.

I would greatly appreciate feedback on this, either directly related to my app or about how to validate the idea. :)
