    ๐Ÿš€ 10x easier, ๐Ÿš€ 140x lower storage cost, ๐Ÿš€ high performance, ๐Ÿš€ petabyte scale - Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative for ๐Ÿš€ (logs, metrics, traces, RUM, Error tracking, Session replay).

  • parseable

    Parseable is a log analytics system platform for modern, cloud native workloads

  • How does this compare to Parseable?

    https://github.com/parseablehq/parseable

    First guess is that the underlying storage / query layer is pretty similar (Parquet + Datafusion), but OpenObserve has more built in use cases?

    As an aside, itโ€™s awesome that Datafusionโ€™s existence and maturity makes launching a product with scalable analytical reads 10x easier than before and cool to see so many projects integrating it

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.

  • grafonnet-lib

    Discontinued Jsonnet library for generating Grafana dashboard files.

  • openobserve-chart

    Simplified Helm chart for single-node OpenObserve

  • Helm chart is available for HA mode installation that allows you to use minio/s3/gcs etc - https://openobserve.ai/docs/ha_deployment/ .

    For single node installations, you can use base k8s manifests that is available using instructions at - https://openobserve.ai/docs/quickstart/#self-hosted-installa... .

    Mike created a helm chart for s ingle node installation too - https://github.com/mshade/openobserve-chart/

  • opentelemetry-js

    OpenTelemetry JavaScript Client

  • That's traces? I was wondering if I could use https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/tree/main...

  • zincsearch

    ZincSearch . A lightweight alternative to elasticsearch that requires minimal resources, written in Go.

  • Please give the benefit of the doubt on HN.

    This company created ZincSearch:

    Prabhat is one of the core contributors/maintainers:

    Also the negative insinuation of using โ€œcheapโ€ labor out of India to build the product is unnecessary. If youโ€™re concerned about code quality, look at the code.

    Assuming everyone working with devs in India is doing so cynically is not charitable.

    I dont know why the headquarters was set as india versus SF but does it actually even matter?

  • logs-benchmark

    Logs performance benchmark repo: Comparing Elastic, Loki and SigNoz

  • I am a maintainer at SigNoz. Nice to see OpenObserve's belief that the future of Observability should be OpenSource. We chose clickhouse rather than building a database as it takes multi-year effort to move a db to maturity and clickhouse has been battle-tested at Yandex, Uber and Cloudflare. Clickhouse also provides native integration with s3 and other blob storages. Our users have been using disk as hot storage for a week and moving the data to s3 after that. Tiered storage is really cool in terms of query performance.

    We have also seen logs data of our users at a compression ratio of 30x/40x. We have published a logs benchmark (https://github.com/SigNoz/logs-benchmark) where the data is very high-cardinal (causing a compression factor of only 2.5x). Would love to see how does OpenObserve perform in that dataset someday.

    Wishing you best for the journey ahead.

    and

    https://github.com/highlight/highlight

    (There are some interesting comparisons/comments vs signoiz in sibling threads).
