Opstrace is an open-source observability distribution that deploys a scalable metrics, logs, and tracing stack (built on Cortex and Loki) on Kubernetes with multi-tenancy and a management UI. It was acquired by GitLab in 2022 and development moved to GitLab's repositories, leaving the original GitHub project inactive.
Use cases
- self-host a scalable Prometheus-compatible metrics and logs platform
- deploy multi-tenant observability stack on Kubernetes
- collect cloud provider metrics from AWS, GCP, and Azure
- set up scalable Alertmanager alerting
- ingest Datadog-compatible metrics into an open-source backend
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, multi-tenant Cortex/Loki distribution and can maintain it yourself
- you need a Datadog-compatible ingestion API on your own infrastructure
When to avoid
- you want actively maintained software - the GitHub repo is abandoned after the GitLab acquisition
- you need a turnkey SaaS observability solution
- you are not running Kubernetes
