SOMEONE OPEN-SOURCED A DATADOG REPLACEMENT THAT COSTS 140X LESS TO STORE YOUR LOGS.
It's called OpenObserve. One single binary that does everything Datadog, Splunk, and Elasticsearch do, except it runs on your hardware and your S3 bucket.
Logs. Metrics. Traces. Frontend monitoring. Pipelines. Dashboards. Alerts. LLM observability.
All in one tool.
→ Built in Rust, single binary, under 2 minutes to deploy
→ Parquet columnar storage on S3, not your expensive disks
→ SQL and PromQL queries, no proprietary language to learn
→ OpenTelemetry native, no vendor lock-in
→ Free tier: 200 GB/day ingestion
→ Largest known deployment: 2+ petabytes per day
Here's the wildest part:
It uses 1/4 the hardware of Elasticsearch and runs queries faster.
The whole architecture is just Parquet files on cheap object storage with smart caching on top. That one design choice is why your Datadog bill could collapse by two orders of magnitude.

One honest note: License is AGPL-3.0. Free for self-hosting and commercial use, but if you build a SaaS on top of it, read the license carefully.
100% Open Source. Repo in the first comment.

🚨 This is absolute GOLD.
The @AnthropicAI engineer who literally wrote "Building Effective Agents" just dropped a 14-minute masterclass.
saves you months of headaches trying to figure this out alone.
