Open-source Datadog alternative. Metrics, traces, and logs in a single pane of glass — built on OpenTelemetry.

Why it works

  • Unified observability: Metrics, traces, and logs together
  • OpenTelemetry-native: Industry-standard instrumentation
  • Alert management: Built-in PagerDuty/Slack integrations
  • No per-seat pricing: Self-host at any scale
  • ClickHouse-powered: Fast queries over massive datasets

What you lose

  • Datadog’s 600+ integrations out of the box
  • Managed infrastructure (you run it yourself)
  • Some AI-powered anomaly detection features
