Grafana
Leading open-source visualization and observability platform
Grafana Open Source is a leading open-source visualization and observability platform that lets you query, visualize, alert on, and explore your data—regardless of where it’s stored. With support for 100+ data source plugins (such as Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, SQL/NoSQL databases, OpenTelemetry, and more), you can unify metrics, logs, traces, and other observability signals in one place. Grafana OSS empowers you to build dynamic, reusable dashboards with rich visualizations, template variables, interactive filtering, and cross-panel linking. Its Explore mode enables ad-hoc queries and side-by-side comparisons of time ranges, queries, and data sources. Grafana also includes built-in alerting, allowing you to define threshold-based rules and send notifications to external systems (e.g. Slack, PagerDuty, OpsGenie). Backed by a strong community and open governance, Grafana OSS is free to use, modify, and deploy under the AGPL-3.0 license. -

OpenTelemetry Collector
OpenTelemetry Collector
The OpenTelemetry Collector offers a vendor-agnostic implementation on how to receive, process, and export telemetry data.

Go gRPC Middleware
Golang gRPC Middlewares: interceptor chaining, auth, logging, retries
gRPC Go has support for "interceptors", i.e. middleware that is executed either on the gRPC Server before the request is passed onto the user's application logic, or on the gRPC client either around the user call. It is a perfect way to implement common patterns: auth, logging, tracing, metrics, validation, retries, rate limiting, and more, which can be great generic building blocks that make it easy to build multiple microservices. Especially for observability signals (logging, tracing, metrics) interceptors offer semi-auto-instrumentation that improves the consistency of your observability and allows great correlation techniques (e.g. exemplars and trace ID in logs). Demo-ed in examples. This repository offers ready-to-use middleware that implements gRPC interceptors with examples. In some cases, dedicated projects offer great interceptors, so this repository skips those, and we link them in the interceptors list. -

Jaeger
Monitor and troubleshoot transactions in complex distributed systems
As on-the-ground microservice practitioners are quickly realizing, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application. Jaeger, inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin, is a distributed tracing system released as open source by Uber Technologies. It is used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems. OpenTracing compatible data model and instrumentation libraries include Go, Java, Node, Python, C++ and C#. Jaeger uses consistent upfront sampling with individual per service/endpoint probabilities and it has multiple storage backends: Cassandra, Elasticsearch, memory. -

LangKit
An open-source toolkit for monitoring Language Learning Models (LLMs)
LangKit is an open-source text metrics toolkit for monitoring language models. It offers an array of methods for extracting relevant signals from the input and/or output text, which are compatible with the open-source data logging library whylogs. Productionizing language models, including LLMs, comes with a range of risks due to the infinite amount of input combinations, which can elicit an infinite amount of outputs. The unstructured nature of text poses a challenge in the ML observability space - a challenge worth solving, since the lack of visibility on the model's behavior can have serious consequences. -

tapir
Declarative, type-safe web endpoints library
Declarative, type-safe web endpoints library. With tapir, you can describe HTTP API endpoints as immutable Scala values. Each endpoint can contain a number of input and output parameters. Compile-time guarantees, develop-time completions, read-time information. Separate the shape of the endpoint (the "what"), from the server logic (the "how"). Generate documentation from endpoint descriptions. Leverage the metadata to report rich metrics and tracing information. Re-use common endpoint definitions, as well as individual inputs/outputs. Library, not a framework, integrates with your stack. Is your company already using tapir? We're continually expanding the "adopters" section in the documentation; the more the merrier! It would be great to feature your company's logo, but in order to do that, we'll need to write permission to avoid any legal misunderstandings. -
