Our platform is built with Rust on the backend, leveraging Apache Arrow DataFusion for SQL and Parquet integration. The front end is developed as a single-page application, with a focus on performance and interactivity to handle large datasets and complex visualizations.
Most teams spend more time managing their observability stack than using it.
OpenObserve consolidates logs, metrics, and traces in one platform, built to replace Elasticsearch, Splunk, Datadog, and Grafana stacks that became too expensive or complex to operate.
vs Elasticsearch: 4x lower compute, 140x lower storage costs, with faster query and ingestion performance.
Deployed in production by thousands of companies. Single binary for getting started, Kubernetes-based HA for production workloads. Native OpenTelemetry support, S3-compatible storage, built in Rust for performance without constant tuning.
Self-hosted or cloud. Migration guides available for every major platform.
