OpenObserve

OpenObserve is an open-source observability company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Menlo Park, California. It addresses the rising cost of storing and searching logs, metrics and traces by offering one unified platform with low storage overhead.

The platform ingests logs (SQL search), metrics (Prometheus-compatible) and traces, then adds dashboards, alerts, pipelines, real user and synthetic monitoring, SLOs, an AI SRE agent for root-cause analysis and LLM observability. Customer logos on the site include AMD, Airbus, Foxconn, AirAsia MOVE and Jio Payments Bank.

• Unified telemetry: logs with SQL search, Prometheus-compatible metrics and distributed traces in one platform.
• Dashboards and alerts: Grafana board import and alert routing to Slack, PagerDuty and email.
• AI SRE: an agent performs autonomous root-cause analysis and anomaly detection.
• LLM observability: monitoring of AI and LLM workloads alongside infrastructure.
• Frontend and synthetic monitoring: real user monitoring and synthetic checks.
• Pipelines and retention: data pipelines, SLOs and long retention on customer-owned object storage.

A Vietnamese e-commerce or fintech platform can centralize logs and traces from Kubernetes microservices on self-hosted OpenObserve to cut log storage costs. A bank IT team can use it for on-premise log retention with SQL-based audit searches. DevOps teams can add LLM observability for chatbot services.

Unified logs, metrics and traces in one tool reduce the number of monitoring products a team has to run. The vendor reports 140x storage efficiency versus Elastic and 8x cost savings versus Datadog (vendor-reported). Open-source licensing and bring-your-own-bucket storage limit lock-in, and AI SRE helps shorten incident investigation.

Telemetry volumes keep growing with microservices, Kubernetes and AI workloads, pushing enterprises to look for cheaper alternatives to per-GB commercial observability pricing. Open standards such as OpenTelemetry and Prometheus make migration easier. Vietnamese banks, e-commerce and fintech teams moving to cloud-native stacks face the same cost and tooling-sprawl pressure.
