Unified observability engine delivering 100x Splunk efficiency
SigLens is a single‑binary observability platform for logs, metrics, and traces, offering up to 100× faster queries and 90% lower costs compared to Splunk, Elastic, and Loki.
SigLens targets engineering teams that need a unified view of logs, metrics, and traces without the overhead of multiple tools. Built on years of monitoring experience, it promises dramatically lower cost and higher performance than traditional commercial solutions.
The platform ingests data via OpenTelemetry, Elastic, Splunk HEC, and Loki formats, and lets users query with either Splunk SPL or standard SQL. Its single‑binary architecture eliminates external dependencies, enabling rapid onboarding and simple maintenance. Benchmarks show up to 8 TB/day per instance and petabyte‑scale ingestion on modest cloud resources.
Deploy SigLens via Git, Docker, or Helm, and run it on anything from a developer laptop to a fleet of EC2 instances. The lightweight design reduces hardware requirements, delivering up to 90% cost savings while maintaining high query speed.
When teams consider SigLens, 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.
Log aggregation for microservice fleet
Collects logs from 10,000 services, queries them instantly with SPL, cutting storage costs by 90%.
Unified tracing and metrics for CI pipelines
Ingests OpenTelemetry data from CI jobs, enabling correlated trace‑metric analysis without separate tools.
Cost‑effective observability in a startup
Runs on a single laptop during development, handling 8 TB/day, eliminating need for expensive SaaS subscriptions.
Petabyte‑scale data lake on modest cloud
Processes 1 PB/day using only 32 EC2 instances, outperforming traditional stacks that need thousands of nodes.
SigLens accepts OpenTelemetry, Elastic, Splunk HEC, and Loki ingestion formats, covering most common log, metric, and trace sources.
You can query data using Splunk SPL or standard SQL, allowing flexibility for existing skill sets.
No. SigLens is delivered as a single binary with zero external dependencies, runnable on a laptop or any server.
Its efficient storage engine and high ingestion throughput reduce required infrastructure, delivering up to 90% lower operational costs versus Splunk, Elastic, or Loki.
