# parseablehq/parseable

Parseable is an open source, unified infrastructure observability platform built in Rust on a data lake architecture. It tracks logs, metrics, traces, and events across apps, agents, and systems, reducing storage costs by up to 90% through columnar telemetry compression.

## What it is
Parseable is an open source, columnar data lake observability platform built in Rust that unifies logs, metrics, traces, and events in a single binary. It stores telemetry as Parquet on object storage with independent compute scaling, offering SQL/PromQL queries, dashboards, alerting, anomaly detection, and APM at a fraction of traditional observability costs.

## Use cases
- self-hosted log management and search
- unified observability for logs, metrics, and traces
- OpenTelemetry-native telemetry backend
- reduce observability storage costs with columnar compression
- monitor AI agents and LLM applications
- replace ELK or Grafana Loki stack
- query telemetry with SQL and PromQL
- set up alerting and dashboards for infrastructure

## When to choose
- you want a single-binary observability platform with logs, metrics, and traces unified
- you need cost-efficient, high-cardinality telemetry storage on object storage like S3
- you want OpenTelemetry-native ingestion without plugins
- you prefer open formats (Parquet) and no vendor lock-in
- you need agent/LLM observability with AI-native analysis

## When to avoid
- you need a mature ecosystem with extensive community plugins and integrations like Grafana or ELK
- you require long-term enterprise SLA support on the free tier
- your team depends on advanced features like multi-tenant clusters or audit logging available only in the paid Enterprise edition
- you need a lightweight log shipper rather than a full observability platform
