Vendor lock-in is in the small details

  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • keep

    The open-source alert management and AIOps platform (by keephq)

  • Nope, fully open source - https://github.com/keephq/keep

  • opentelemetry-collector-contrib

    Contrib repository for the OpenTelemetry Collector

  • The article seems to suggest https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-co... was silently killed, yet it appears to have been merged in January, am I missing something?

  • 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. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • micrometer

    An application observability facade for the most popular observability tools. Think SLF4J, but for observability.

  • I've bounced around Splunk, New Relic, Sentry and Datadog over the years. Most recently, I was working with Java and used the open source Vendor-neutral application observability facade Micrometer[1] to test out and confirm which APM we wanted to go with.

  • 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. 🔥 🖥. 👉 Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool

  • You should also check out SigNoz [1]. It's an open source observability platform with metrics, traces and logs in a single application & based natively on opentelemetry.

    One of the reasons many people use SigNoz is to avoid the vendor lock-in which comes with adding proprietary SDKs of closed source products like DataDog and New Relic in their code.

    If anyone is starting their observability journey today, I think OpenTelemetry is a very good place to start. You can instrument with Otel SDKs and chose a visualization layer/backend which suits your needs best

    (Disclaimer: I am maintainer at SigNoz)

  • tracing

    Application level tracing for Rust.

  • > What's been your biggest issues around ergonomics/amenities for OpenTelemetry?

    I can't speak generally, but in the Rust ecosystem the various crates don't play well together. Here's one example: <https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/issues/2648> There are four crates involved (tracing-attributes, tracing-opentelemetry, opentelemetry, and opentelemetry-datadog) and none of them fit properly into any of the others.

  • hyperdx

    Resolve production issues, fast. An open source observability platform unifying session replays, logs, metrics, traces and errors powered by Clickhouse and OpenTelemetry.

  • Oh huh! What would you do with span start independent of stops?

    A tangent on logcat - local observability to me is a really intriguing area, I think there's a story of Otel for local as well if someone can build a good enough local DX for consuming them (we've been told a number of times about this https://github.com/hyperdxio/hyperdx/issues/7 as an example)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
