Petabyte‑scale observability platform, 10x easier, 140x cheaper
OpenObserve delivers fast, low‑cost logs, metrics, traces and RUM via a single binary or HA mode, with OpenTelemetry, SQL/PromQL queries and built‑in dashboards.
OpenObserve is a cloud‑native observability stack that ingests logs, metrics, traces and Real‑User Monitoring data at petabyte scale. It replaces traditional solutions with a single binary for small deployments or an HA cluster for larger workloads, supporting local disks and major object stores (S3, MinIO, GCS, Azure).
The platform offers full OpenTelemetry compatibility, allowing seamless ingestion of logs, metrics, and traces via OTLP. Users can query data using familiar SQL syntax for logs and traces, and PromQL for metrics, while a dynamic schema adapts to evolving data structures. An embedded multilingual GUI provides dashboards, alerts, reports, and pipeline processing (enrich, redact, normalize) without additional tools.
Getting started takes under two minutes with Docker or Docker‑Compose, and upgrades are hassle‑free. For production, OpenObserve can run in high‑availability mode, integrates with SSO and RBAC in the enterprise edition, and includes built‑in authentication. The solution promises up to 140× lower storage costs compared with Elasticsearch, making it attractive for cost‑conscious teams handling massive data volumes.
When teams consider OpenObserve, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Kubernetes log aggregation
Reduce storage cost up to 140× while retaining fast query performance
Microservice tracing
Correlate traces with metrics via SQL/PromQL for rapid root‑cause analysis
Real‑user monitoring
Capture performance, errors, and session replay in a unified platform
Compliance reporting
Generate multi‑tenant dashboards and alerts with dynamic schema evolution
OpenObserve claims up to ~140× lower storage cost by using columnar storage and efficient compression.
Yes, it offers an HA deployment option that can be scaled across multiple nodes.
OpenObserve supports OpenTelemetry OTLP for logs, metrics, and traces, as well as native APIs compatible with Elasticsearch.
A cloud‑hosted offering is available alongside the self‑hosted open‑source edition.
The open‑source edition is released under the AGPL license.
