Observability with a brain built in

Self-hosted observability, written end-to-end in Rust, with an analytical brain on board — automated RCA, anomaly detection and a local LLM. Your data stays in your bucket, and your bill never depends on telemetry volume.

Every role sees what matters to them — from the same source of truth.

Why Observ

Same DNA as the best. Inverted promise.

OpenTelemetry, DataFusion, Arrow, object storage, SQL — the modern observability stack is commoditizing. So we compete where it matters: distribution model, cost at scale and data sovereignty.

No observability tax

Billed per cluster, predictable — never per record, per GB or per seat. The bill that explodes at scale stops here.

Your data never leaves

The bucket is the source of truth, on your own object storage. Your telemetry never leaves your infrastructure.

Built-in intelligence

RCA, anomaly detection and a local LLM chat run inside your infra — intelligence included, not metered per token.

Free, unlimited, self-hosted

The Community tier is genuinely unlimited: volume and retention included, because it's your S3 — not ours.

Built to last

Technology you can trust

European & independent

Built and hosted in Europe. No dependency on US hyperscalers. Your data sovereignty is non-negotiable.

OpenTelemetry, end to end

Native OTLP ingestion and data in your own object storage. Any OTLP endpoint works — zero lock-in, easy migration.

Deploy anywhere

A single multi-role Rust binary runs on bare metal, VMs, Kubernetes, or your laptop. Minimal resources, maximum flexibility.

Simple pricing

Pay per cluster. Never per volume.

No observability tax. Your bill is decoupled from telemetry volume, retention and seats — they all live on your object storage. You pay for a cluster, not for your traffic.

Unlimited volume. Unlimited retention. Unlimited seats.

They run on your object storage, not ours — so your bill never moves because you ingested more logs or added a teammate. That's the whole point.
