Coroot: Simplified Observability for Modern Environments

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…

In plain words

Coroot is an observability platform designed for microservices environments that helps developers monitor and troubleshoot their applications. It provides comprehensive visibility across entire systems, addressing blind spots common in complex modern infrastructure. The platform aims to simplify monitoring for developers who own their environments but may lack deep infrastructure expertise, offering actionable insights to identify issues more quickly.

From the sources

eBPF-powered and AI-guided observability platform. See every metric, log, and trace with zero code changes. 80% faster MTTR, 0 code setup.

Coroot uses eBPF to capture metrics, logs, traces, and profiles with zero code changes , then tells you the root cause when something breaks. Coroot shows you exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it so you can focus on building instead of debugging. With complete telemetry, AI works like an experienced engineer, tracing dependencies, finding the root cause, and suggesting fixes instantly. See everything from applications and databases to infrastructure, cloud and network with every metric, log, trace and profile in one view. It handles the entire observability cycle, from gathering and storing metrics, logs, traces and profiles to visualizing, alerting and turning them into actionable…from coroot.com

    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…

    Over the past few months, we've been building Prism; a fast, developer-first observability UI that's deeply integrated with our open-source database, Parseable. Prism is designed for engineers who debug distributed systems, sometimes at odd hours, and need answers right now, without having to deal with five different tools. Backstory: We spoke to dozens of observability practitioners in large enterprises. Across the board, we heard two things: (1)The RoI on observability tools is hard to justify. (2)OSS leads to tool sprawl, metrics in Grafana, logs in ELK, traces… somewhere. We wanted a…

    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…
