IceGate – Observability data lake engine

In plain words

IceGate is an open-source, Rust-native engine that stores observability logs in Apache Iceberg tables on object storage, with metrics and traces coming soon. Built for teams seeking to reduce observability costs and avoid vendor lock-in, it allows users to store and access their data independently rather than paying per-gigabyte ingestion fees to proprietary platforms. Released under Apache 2.0, it enables observability data management without vendor markup.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Today we're (@sprosvirnin and I) launching the first open-source release of IceGate - a Rust-native engine that stores logs (metrics and traces coming soon) in Apache Iceberg tables on your own object storage. Observability costs are out of control. Teams pay per GB ingested, get locked into proprietary formats, and…

  Parseable Log Storage2022 · parseable.com · ▲79

  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…

  OpenObserve – Elasticsearch/Datadog alternative2023 · github.com · ▲198

  Hello folks, We are launching OpenObserve. An open source Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative written in rust and vue that is super easy to get started with and has 140x lower storage cost compared to elasticsearch. It offers logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts, functions (run aws lambda like functions during ingestion and query to enrich, redact, transform, normalize and whatever else you want to do. Think redacting email IDs from logs, adding geolocation based on IP address, etc). You can do all of this from the UI, no messing up with configuration files. OpenObserve…

  Talanoa▲343

  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…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
