OpenObserve

Appreciate all the support for OpenObserve on DevHunt so far. A lot of this project has come from people dealing with observability systems that don’t hold up once things scale. That feedback has shaped more of this than anything else. Support OpenObserve on DevHunt: https://lnkd.in/gD2vP2J7 #observability #opensource

Four years ago, I left a comfortable, high-paying architect job at AWS to start OpenObserve. People often ask me why I chose the harder path. The answer is simple: Observability was fundamentally broken. At AWS, I saw the same issues everywhere, from small startups to massive enterprises: Cost: SaaS platforms like Datadog and Splunk were prohibitively expensive. Complexity: To avoid crazy vendor bills, most teams self-hosted Elasticsearch. They saved on licenses but paid heavily in massive CPU/RAM requirements and endless "babysitting." Scalability: Running massive clusters meant dedicating your best engineers just to keep the system alive and praying it didn't break. Everyone used Elasticsearch, and almost everyone hated it. I knew there had to be a better way. So, we built OpenObserve. We built it in Rust for blazing-fast performance. We packed logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and alerts into a single binary. It requires a fraction of the hardware compared to incumbents and actually works out of the box. Four years later, the numbers speak for themselves: ⭐ 18,000+ GitHub stars 🚀 7,000+ active deployments 🏢 Adopted by everyone from home lab enthusiasts to Fortune 100 companies. Every day, we are replacing Datadog, Splunk, New Relic, and Elasticsearch. Best of all, OpenObserve is open-source.

We are live! Today, DevZero's co-founder and CEO, Debosmit Ray (debo) joins Shani Shoham and Chaitanya Sistla to break down how they evaluated alternatives, migrated from Datadog in under an hour, and how he redesigned their observability strategy based on lessons from Uber and DevZero. Join the conversation now. #OpenObserve #Observability #DevOps #SRE #CloudNative #OpenTelemetry

When DevZero needed observability that could match their scale and performance expectations beyond what Datadog could support, they migrated from their existing setup in under an hour. On April 15th, DevZero's co-founder and CEO, Debosmit Ray (debo) joins Shani Shoham and Chaitanya Sistla to break down how they evaluated alternatives, migrated from Datadog in under an hour, and how he redesigned their observability strategy based on lessons from Uber and DevZero.

We’re live in one hour! DevZero co-founder Debo Ray will walk through how his team approached redesigning their observability stack and transitioning away from Datadog. Register now to join us live. #Observability #DevOps #SRE

Tomorrow. DevZero co-founder Debosmit Ray (debo) joins Shani Shoham and Chaitanya Sistla to walk through how his team redesigned their observability stack and transitioned away from Datadog. Debo brings experience building systems at Uber and DevZero and will share how engineering teams can evaluate their observability architecture as systems scale.

OpenObserve is live on DevHunt. Huge thank you to our community for the continued support. The GitHub stars, the feedback, the bug reports, the conversations. This project has been shaped by all of it. Support OpenObserve on DevHunt here: https://lnkd.in/gD2vP2J7 #observability #devops #opensource

DevZero replaced their Datadog observability stack in under an hour. Not a phased rollout or a months-long migration. A full transition. Most teams assume observability migrations are painful because migrations are inherently complex. Often the architecture is what makes them complex. On April 15, DevZero co-founder Debosmit Ray (debo) will join Shani Shoham and Chaitanya Sistla and walk through how his team approached the problem. Debo has worked on large-scale systems at Uber and now at DevZero, and will explain how the team evaluated their stack and redesigned their observability architecture. If you're rethinking your observability stack, this session should give you a useful perspective. Register below for the LinkedIn event. #Observability #DevOps #SRE #CloudNative

We’re still mentally at KubeCon Europe. Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by and spent time with us. Shout out to our amazing onsite staff who brought the beach to Amsterdam - Prabhat Sharma, Shani Shoham, Ashish Kolhe, Jacob Swiss, Hengfei Yang, Loakesh Indiran, Md Mosaraf, Manas Sharma, Stefan Cartlidge. We built a booth that looked like paradise, but most of the conversations sounded like burnout. Across almost every team we talked to, the theme was the same. They are not exploring observability anymore, they are trying to fix it. Too many tools stitched together, too much time spent managing the system instead of using it, and growing pressure as data and costs keep climbing. The shift is happening in real time. Teams are starting to question whether their current setup is something they can actually scale. If you're starting to feel that shift too or didn’t get a chance to see what we were showing at the booth, you can still take a closer look: Request a demo: https://lnkd.in/gKR9z9kF #KubeCon #Observability #DevOps #OpenTelemetry #OpenObserve #KubeConEurope26

Gooooooo open source! 🔥🔥 OpenChoreo, a CNCF sandbox IDP for Kubernetes just shipped OpenObserve-based logging AND tracing modules. Their Backstage portal. MCP server. CLI. All working seamlessly with OpenObserve through the module adapter. And the contributor's words hit different: "It was VERY easy to set up. The overall experience has been positive." That's what we build for. 🙏 Check out the modules and tell us what you think → https://lnkd.in/g2zGAuPx Read the full breakdown: https://lnkd.in/gr-7NBzP #OpenObserve #Observability #OpenTelemetry #DevOps #SRE #CloudNative #Kubernetes #DistributedSystems #Logging #Metrics #Tracing #OpenSource #PlatformEngineering #CloudInfrastructure #APM
