OpenObserve
OpenObserve provides an open-source observability platform, built in Rust, that consolidates logs, metrics and traces with lower storage costs and faster queries than traditional monitoring stacks.
OpenObserve is an open-source observability platform that brings logs, metrics and traces together in a single system. Founded in 2022, the company builds its platform in Rust, with native OpenTelemetry support, S3-compatible object storage and a stateless architecture designed for horizontal scaling. It is intended as an alternative to more expensive and complex proprietary monitoring stacks, with the stated aim of removing trade-offs between performance and cost and reducing the operational overhead of running monitoring infrastructure.
The platform is positioned around storage efficiency and query speed. OpenObserve reports storage costs 140x lower than Elasticsearch, alongside faster query and ingestion performance. The system processes petabytes of data daily and is used by thousands of organizations globally, including Fortune 10 companies. The company has a global presence.
Technical work at OpenObserve spans observability, log management, metrics monitoring, distributed tracing, Rust systems programming, OpenTelemetry, S3-compatible object storage, stateless architecture and high-performance data ingestion and querying. The product serves teams in software engineering and IT infrastructure working with distributed systems.
