Open-source observability platform 140x cheaper than Elasticsearch

Code & DevelopmentFreemium

OpenObserve is an open-source observability platform for logs, metrics, and traces that provides a unified Grafana-compatible interface at a fraction of the cost of commercial solutions. It uses Rust and Apache Arrow/Parquet for high-compression storage and high-performance querying, achieving storage costs reportedly 140x lower than Elasticsearch. OpenObserve supports OpenTelemetry natively, VRL (Vector Remap Language) for log transformations, and embedded ML models for anomaly detection in metrics.
