Coroot – eBPF-based, open source observability with actionable insights

A common open source approach to observability will begin with databases and visualizations for telemetry - Grafana, Prometheus, Jaeger. But observability doesn’t begin and end here: these tools require configuration, dashboard customization, and may not actually pinpoint the data you need to mitigate system risks. Coroot was designed to solve the problem of manual, time-consuming observability analysis: it handles the full observability journey — from collecting telemetry to turning it into actionable insights. We also strongly believe that simple observability should be an innovation…

In plain words

Coroot is an open source observability platform that collects telemetry data and automatically generates actionable insights for system monitoring. Built with eBPF technology, it handles the full observability workflow without requiring extensive configuration or dashboard customization. The tool includes cost monitoring across major cloud providers, SLO tracking with anomaly detection, and one-click application profiling. It targets developers and DevOps teams seeking simpler alternatives to traditional observability stacks like Prometheus and Grafana.

    Hey HN, We launched Coroot a while ago as an open source observability tool that collects complete telemetry using eBPF. Today we are adding a major new capability: Coroot enterprise now includes AI-powered Root Cause Analysis. When an incident happens (like an SLO violation), Coroot: - Automatically kicks off an RCA - Summarizes what went wrong in plain English - Suggests immediate fixes - Shows the full investigation using metrics, logs, traces, and profiles With most tools, the quality of root cause analysis depends on how well the system is instrumented. Coroot takes a different…

    I'm Peter Zaitsev, co-founder at Coroot. I come from the database world where observability, or monitoring, was crucial for keeping databases running smoothly. But as technology evolves, so do the challenges we face. Today, many applications are built using microservices architecture, making it harder to pinpoint issues. Developers now have more ownership over the entire environment, but they lack the expertise to navigate intricate infrastructure details. And with the complexity of modern observability systems, crucial components often go unmonitored, leaving blind spots. That's where…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
