openobserve
🚀 10x easier, 🚀 140x lower storage cost, 🚀 high performance, 🚀 petabyte scale - Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative for 🚀 (logs, metrics, traces, RUM, Error tracking, Session replay).
You might look into https://openobserve.ai/ - you can self host it and it's a single binary that ingests logs/metrics/traces. I've found it useful for my side projects.

lazydocker as well. Also a big fan of bottom (https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom) , which surprisignly enough even though it has charts and everything, it consumes way fewer resources on my system compared to htop.

greptimedb
Open-source, cloud-native, unified observability database for metrics, logs and traces, supporting SQL/PromQL/Streaming. Available on GreptimeCloud.

-
autometrics-rs
Easily add metrics to your code that actually help you spot and debug issues in production. Built on Prometheus and OpenTelemetry.
-
macmon
🦀⚙️ Sudoless performance monitoring for Apple Silicon processors. CPU / GPU / RAM usage, power consumption & temperature 🌡️
In recent years, new terminal emulators have appeared. I tried using them mainly for testing macmon. A couple of years ago, I tried switching to kitty, which was faster due to GPU acceleration. However, it required too much customization and still looked very non-native for macOS. GPU acceleration was added to iTerm as well, so I stayed with it.

Remember to add some metrics from the start. Many bugs and performance issues can be found by checking the metrics. I use AtomicU64 directly since the current requirements are simple. I may switch to the Prometheus metrics later.
