From the sources

Dash0 is the first and only OpenTelemetry Native observability tool! Get real-time metrics, logs, and traces with no proprietary data. Enjoy unmatched transparency, cost control, and customizable dashboards for ultimate performance insights.

Dash0 is modern OpenTelemetry Native Observability, built on CNCF Open Standards such as PromQL, Perses and OTLP with full cost control

Software is now built by AI and run by AI. Dash0 is how you stay in control. We watch the agents writing your code, see everything happening in production, and fix problems automatically, often before anyone notices. You're shipping 2× more code but creating 3× more incidents. AI-speed output flooded a system built for human-paced development. Incidents per PR are up 243%. Lead time to production is up 480%. Engineers spend more time responding to failures than building. Better dashboards, cheaper storage, a chat box on top of your data. None of it closes the loop from production back to where the code was written. What breaks in production does not teach the agents that built it. AI coding…from dash0.com

  Dash0 – Dev-Friendly OpenTelemetry Observability with Open Standards2024 · dash0.com · ▲14

  Hey HN! After building an observability software (Instana) and selling it to IBM, I wanted to approach observability differently this time—simpler, more open, and built with developers like me in mind. That’s why I started Dash0. Dash0 is natively built on OpenTelemetry, so logs, metrics, and traces are handled without extra hoops. You can send data via OTLP directly, through an OpenTelemetry Collector, or use our open-source Kubernetes operator to get started quickly. I didn’t want a tool that forces people into proprietary systems, so Dash0 supports PromQL for querying and alerting and…

  Hey HN, we’re Nico and Arseniy, co-founders of Superlog (https://superlog.sh). We're building a self-installing, self healing observability tool meant not to be opened. It has a wizard that daily sets up proper logging and an agent that investigates errors and opens PRs. Super short demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFhU9Mk247M. In our earlier startups, we tried Sentry, Datadog, Grafana, Dash0, and nothing was good enough. Proper telemetry and alerting still requires a ton of manual setup. We struggled with adding good logs, so debugging was tough, especially as…

  OpenLLMetry – OpenTelemetry-based observability for LLMs2023 · github.com · ▲154

  Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. We’re open-sourcing a set of extensions we’ve built on top of OpenTelemetry that provide visibility into LLM applications - whether it be prompts, vector DBs and more. Here’s the repo: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetry. There’s already a decent number of tools for LLM observability, some open-source and some not. But what we found was missing for all of them is that they were closed-protocol by design, vendor-locking you to use their observability platform or their proprietary framework for running your LLMs. It’s still early in the…

  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…
