About OpenObserve
OpenObserve is an open-source observability platform for monitoring logs, metrics, and traces at petabyte scale. It serves engineering, SRE, and platform teams who need high performance and dramatically lower storage costs with full data control.
Key Features
When teams evaluate telemetry tooling for large, cost-sensitive environments, these capabilities shape how they observe systems:
Lower Storage Costs
140x lower storage costs than Elasticsearch, aided by aggressive compression and efficient storage layout.
High Compression & Columnar Storage
~40x compression with columnar storage to store more telemetry in less space.
Petabyte-Scale Scalability
Designed to handle multi-petabyte data volumes while keeping queries responsive.
Open Source & Standards
AGPL-3.0 licensed, fully open codebase with OpenTelemetry compatibility and vendor-neutral APIs.
Summary
Best for SREs, platform teams, and data engineers handling large-scale telemetry in cloud-native environments.
