# OpenObserve

> Open source, petabyte-scale observability platform unifying logs, metrics, and traces with 140x lower storage costs than Elasticsearch.

OpenObserve (O2) is a cloud-native, open source observability platform that unifies logs, metrics, traces, frontend monitoring, and session replay into a single solution. Written in Rust and built on Apache Parquet with the DataFusion query engine, it delivers petabyte-scale performance at dramatically lower cost than traditional tools like Elasticsearch. The platform is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and supports both cloud-hosted and self-hosted deployments.

- **Unified Observability** — *Ingest and query logs, metrics, traces, RUM, session replay, and error tracking from one platform.*
- **140x Lower Storage Cost** — *High compression (~40x) via columnar Apache Parquet storage benchmarked against Elasticsearch.*
- **Blazing Performance** — *Rust-native engine with DataFusion queries; internal benchmarks return 1 petabyte of data in 2 seconds.*
- **Petabyte Scalability** — *Stateless node architecture enables horizontal scaling without data complexity.*
- **Bring Your Own Bucket** — *Supports local disk, S3, MinIO, GCS, and Azure Blob Storage for long-term data retention.*
- **Data Pipelines** — *Configure ingestion-time data processing workflows including sensitive data redaction and multi-destination routing.*
- **Alerts & Dashboards** — *Set up continuous monitoring alerts and build rich visualizations for real-time and historical data.*
- **OpenTelemetry Compatible** — *Embraces open standards with vendor-neutral API interfaces and OTel-native ingestion.*
- **Role-Based Access Control** — *Manage user identities and fine-grained resource access via built-in IAM.*
- **O2 AI Assistant** — *Built-in AI assistant for accelerating observability workflows and query analysis.*
- **Self-Hosted or Cloud** — *Get started in under 2 minutes with Docker locally, or use the managed cloud offering with a 14-day free trial.*
