OpenObserve
Open source, petabyte-scale observability for the AI era
OpenObserve is an open source observability platform for logs, metrics, and traces, designed to deliver up to 140x lower storage costs compared to Elasticsearch. Built in Rust and powered by the DataFusion query engine, it offers high compression, columnar storage, and a stateless architecture for horizontal scaling. It supports local disk, S3, GCS, Azure Blob Storage, and is compatible with OpenTelemetry standards.
OpenObserve stores data using Apache Parquet with high compression and queries it directly via the DataFusion engine, enabling fast, cost-efficient observability across petabyte-scale datasets.
