How does it work?
Easily create an Opstrace Cluster with our command-line interface—it talks directly to your cloud provider using your own credentials. It orchestrates the toilsome process of setting everything up. Your cluster automatically maintains itself, with your data safely and inexpensively stored in your own S3 or GCS buckets.

- Why choose Opstrace over Datadog or building my own?
Services like Datadog charge you by the volume of data and since you have to send your data out of your network to them, you lose control of it. Solving this problem is non-trivial—it requires you build your own observability stack with open source tools, but you'll either need a dedicated team or someone part time—either way those are resources that could be focused on your product. Opstrace bridges that gap. Read more here.
- What’s included in the current version of Opstrace?
Our installer runs as a CLI to use your cloud credentials to provision and configure a horizontally-scalable Opstrace cluster in your cloud account. After installation, internal components manage the ongoing lifecycle, repairing and updating components as needed. Check out our repo on GitHub to learn more.
- What will future versions of Opstrace include?
Your needs go well beyond just storing metrics and logs. You want to be able to analyze them, collaborate with your teammates using them, and have all the accompanying tools (such as synthetic monitoring) to round out a complete platform. And, of course, you want tracing data. We are in the process of building a powerful, new, collaborative user experience and related tools. Keep up with us on our public roadmap, or sign up for our newsletter for updates.
- How much does it cost?
The open source version is not a limited demo—it is fully usable, Apache licensed, and will always be free. We offer a commercial version priced per end user rather than by data volume. It includes features such as custom single sign-on and other related features that companies typically purchase instead of build. Join our open source community and chat with us, or contact us to request a demo, or feel free to just email us at [email protected].
- What’s the story of the adorable octopus?
The octopus is more than a logo—she's our mascot. Her name is Tracy. As you can imagine she’s pretty smart, with a big eye that’s perfect for looking at data. She can solve complicated problems, steer clear of incidents, and generally speaking, accomplish whatever it is she sets her mind to.

DIY Open Source
Rolling your own is more expensive than you think. And rarely do your devs go all the way with security, multi-tenancy, etc.—not because they don't want to, but because they have other priorities.
