  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • signoz

    SigNoz is an open-source observability platform native to OpenTelemetry with logs, traces and metrics in a single application. An open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. πŸ”₯ πŸ–₯. πŸ‘‰ Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool

  • When it comes to monitoring, the first thing I look for is a good data store. In the open-source world, probably the best one is Clickhouse, and there are multiple solutions built on top of it like SigNoz [1] and Uptrace [2].

  • mimir

    Grafana Mimir provides horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant, long-term storage for Prometheus.

  • It consists of 6 separate components to run, plus 4 additional optional components [1]. And I don't even count 5 additional caches [2]. How is that "simple and easy"?

  • VictoriaMetrics

    VictoriaMetrics: fast, cost-effective monitoring solution and time series database

  • That was added in https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/14... I did it before this, when replication between clusters was not available (it was in Enterprise if I remember correctly).

  • uptrace

    Open source APM: OpenTelemetry traces, metrics, and logs

  • carbon-clickhouse

    Graphite metrics receiver with ClickHouse as storage

  • There are Graphite-compatible monitoring systems, which use much more efficient storage format than Whisper. They resolve the most annoying issues associated with Graphite for large-scale setups - high disk IO and high disk space usage. See [1] and [2].

  • 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.
