Ops at BetterStackHQ 💻 from space industry to observability SaaS

[aryan | 🐂 @_0xaryan]

why does someone still uses @datadoghq in 2026 - there event based pricing is absolutely ridiculous.

we got ~500$ bill for a month, where we recorded ~168 million of logs and it was just about 40gbish.

I shifted our whole logging infra to @BetterStackHQ , took <1hr, our last month bill was ~45$.

and betterstack mcp is such god tier, datadog mcp is also bad.

@jurajmasar @BetterStackHQ Amazing! Error tracking shouldn’t be expensive or isolated. 🚀

eBPF is ready for real-world use 🚀

[Juraj Masar @jurajmasar]

Today, we're introducing eBPF-based OpenTelemetry tracing alongside a remotely controlled Better Stack Collector. eBPF is ready for prime time. Here's the playbook for adopting it.

What's eBPF?
"extended Berkeley Packet Filter" is a Linux kernel technology that lets you run sandboxed programs inside the kernel safely and efficiently. Thanks to eBPF, you can now instrument your clusters with OpenTelemetry without changing any application code 🤯

The eBPF ecosystem has matured significantly over the past few months and many Better Stack customers are already using it in production.

Until now, deploying eBPF to production has been tricky. We're simplifying it today by bundling the best of the open source eBPF sensors into a single remotely controlled Better Stack collector you can deploy with a single command.

Better Stack collector gives you granular control over what exactly gets instrumented. Get the service map of your cluster, RED metrics for individual services, see network flows, and aggregate your application and system logs out of the box. Without changing any code.

Observability tools are only useful if you actually ingest all relevant data. Today, we're making that simpler and more convenient than ever.

The eBPF OpenTelemetry playbook™ = "Do the easy thing before doing the hard thing"

1. In your staging environment.
2. Deploy the eBPF collector into your distributed cluster.
3. In 98% of cases: Declare victory, your app is now instrumented.
4. In 2% of cases: You notice a particular service has slowed down. For example, the CPU utilization on a high-throughput Redis instance handling millions of operations per second got noticeably higher. Better be safe, so you disable eBPF for this single instance while keeping it enabled for the other 98% of services.
5. If needed, use the OpenTelemetry SDK auto-instrumentation to instrument the last 2% of applications.

Most teams today still start with step 5. If you're revisiting your observability stack, I encourage you to give eBPF a chance: it has matured significantly and is better than you might expect.

Better Stack encourages combining OpenTelemetry traces from the OTel SDK, eBPF, and your frontend. That's the only way to get the clearest picture of what's actually happening in your application.

Want to chat eBPF? Catch me at KubeCon in Amsterdam next week!

See you in Amsterdam! 🇳🇱

Don’t visit our booth. Unless, of course, your observability bill is starting to cost more than your infrastructure. Sound familiar? Let us show you a better way at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2026. Stop by booth 892 to meet the team, see the platform in action, and experience our AI SRE firsthand.

"You're with Better Stack, the YouTube channel?"
"Yes! Sort of."

I knew our YouTube channel was a success when I had to start explaining to people that @BetterStackHQ is more than just a media company.

Today, we crossed 100k subscribers 🎉

Amazing job @RichOBray @JollyShopland @AGauracs72140 @The_JoshWenner 👏👏👏

LET'S GOOO 💪

Zajímavý začátek týdne s delegací na #Space z #United #Arab #Emirates a se zajímavým potenciálem pro spolupráci v #drony. Skvělá práce @min_dopravy za uspořádání akce včetně dvou večerních recepci s @makupka v úžasných prostorách Národního muzea a v Clam-Gallasův Paláci v Praze.

The HERA launch is a huge milestone for us! Our team at @huldofficial dedicated over 20,000 hours to contribute to the development and testing of its software. We’re incredibly proud to be part of this mission and excited for what’s ahead! ☄️ @SpacePortal_CZ #czechspace #ESA

[ESA's Hera mission @ESA_Hera]

#HeraMission is scheduled for launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, USA, today, Monday 7 October, at 16:52 CEST / 15:52 BST.

Signing memorandum of understanding at Industry Day with @Axiom_Space

as part of the national project Czech Voyage into Space, which prepares to launch Aleš Svoboda into space. For Czech science and economy, the "Czech Voyage into Space" project will bring the opportunity to carry out a number of experiments and observations in the field of medicine, technology and new materials that cannot be realized on Earth. This will open up more possibilities for the national space industry to excel in the global market. Such opportunities we seek today. As past flights into space inspired the technological leaders of the last decades, the Czech space project stimulates the new generation's interest in science and technology.

[Anna Rojko @anna_rojko]

Cesta do USA byla pro naše české space firmy užitečná. Kromě schůzek a jednání pro nás bylo přínosné a inspirativní vidět fungování amerických soukromých firem působících v oblasti kosmických technologií a jejich přístup k vývoji nových komerčních produktů.

[Martin Kupka @makupka]

🇨🇿🇺🇸 Největší vědecko-podnikatelská mise v USA končí symbolicky v Cape Canaveral, které je díky středisku NASA centrem kosmických technologií. Díky moc @Hokomora i @CzechEmbassyDC za to, že vytvořily ty nejlepší možné podmínky pro nové příležitosti českých firem i univerzit. 👏

[Anna Rojko @anna_rojko]

Great to see and hear from @Axiom_Space team about development of a new space station and their Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit 🧑‍🚀
