Oodle – serverless, fully-managed, drop-in replacement for Prometheus
Hello HN! My co-founder, Vijay and I are excited to open up Oodle for everyone. We used to be observability geeks at Rubrik. Our metrics bills grew like 20x over 4 years. We tried to control spend by getting better visibility, blocking high cardinality labels like pod_id, cluster_id, and customer_id. But that made debugging issues complicated. App engineers hated blocking metrics, and blocking others' code reviews was not fun for platform engineers either! Migrations (and lock-ins) were very painful, the first migration from Influx to Signalfx took 6+ months and the second migration from…
Oodle – serverless, fully-managed, drop-in replacement for Prometheus launched on September 24, 2024 with 84 votes, #520 of 5,281 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Oodle is a serverless, fully-managed metrics platform designed as a drop-in replacement for Prometheus. Built by former observability engineers at Rubrik, it addresses runaway metrics costs by storing data efficiently on S3 while maintaining query performance at scale. The platform eliminates the need to block high-cardinality labels like pod IDs or cluster IDs for cost control, allowing engineers to retain full debugging visibility without sacrificing performance or requiring lengthy migrations.

We designed a serverless & cost-efficient metrics observability system that delivers fast performance at any scale. In today’s world, observability is essential for any company to understand how their systems are performing. It plays a crucial role in tracking business metrics, as well as monitoring the availability, reliability & performance of applications and infrastructure. More importantly, observability empowers teams to quickly detect, alert, and respond when systems deviate from expected behavior. Observability is typically categorized into four primary types of data: metrics, logs, events, and traces, profiles - each serving distinct purposes. In this post, we will dive deep into…from blog.oodle.ai

Oodle.ai – $10 per million agent tracesJul 2026 · oodle.ai · ▲31Hi HN, we're Kiran and Vijay! Over the past two years, we have built a columnar storage engine for observability: logs, metrics, and traces. Today, it's exciting for us to show what we've built on top of that foundation: LLM Agent Observability. Given how non-deterministic agents are, storing all traces without sampling was critical for us. But these traces tend to be in the MBs, sometimes GBs - we needed to store them inexpensively. We also needed the queries and analyses to be fast. To meet both these goals, we store them in S3 in our own parquet-like file format, and query them using AWS…

Keep – GitHub Actions for your monitoring tools2023 · github.com · ▲181Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. A few months ago, we introduced here at HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34806482) Keep as an “open source alerting CLI” and got some interesting feedback - mainly around UI, automation, and supporting more tools. We were VERY early back then, and we understood that although the current DX around creating alerts is not great, it's not that critical and developers don’t need another tool just for that. But we did find something else. While talking to developers and devops, we found that a lot of companies use many tools…
OpenObserve – Elasticsearch/Datadog alternative2023 · github.com · ▲198Hello 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…

The Tech Preview version of GreptimeCloud has been officially released. This new version is a hosted Prometheus solution based on the powerful Serverless DBaaS architecture. This update brings wider compatibility, Prometheus rules managed with GitOps principles, and enhanced visualization tools.
Keep – Open-source alerting CLI2023 · github.com · ▲65Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. We're thrilled to announce that we're open-sourcing our alerting CLI tool, Keep (https://github.com/keephq/keep). Designed by developers for developers, Keep streamlines and simplifies alerting, making it a first-class citizen within the development process. Think of Keep as Prometheus Alertmanager but for all observability tools, with a simple and intuitive (GitHub actions-like) syntax. We believe that alerting has historically been neglected in existing monitoring platforms, leading to subpar alerting practices. With Keep,…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…
