    Open source APM: OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and logs

  • Uptrace is an open-source APM tool that supports distributed tracing, metrics, and logs. You can use it to monitor applications and set up alerts to receive notifications via email, Slack, Telegram, and more.

    In v1.4 release Uptrace got built-in alerting capabilities that allow to monitor metrics, manage alerts, and receive notifications without using AlertManager. But AlertManager is still supported.

    While OpenTelemetry remains to be the main source of telemetry data, Uptrace also provides integrations for Prometheus metrics, Vector logs, FluentBit, Sentry, and CloudWatch.

    You can quickly try Uptrace by:

    - Running a Docker example: https://github.com/uptrace/uptrace/tree/master/example/docke...

    - Checking Uptrace Cloud demo: https://app.uptrace.dev/play

    If you have any feedback or questions, let me know in the comments!

  • > IMO the reason these vendors can and do charge so much is not because telemetry software is hard.

    I always saw it as "they are charging for their polished UI/experience"

    The UI of https://zipkin.io/ versus DataDog is kind of... not really in the same ballpark?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
