Traceway is an OpenTelemetry-native, self-hostable observability platform that combines logs, traces, metrics, session replay, exceptions, AI tracing, and on-call paging in one tool. It ingests telemetry via OTLP/HTTP from any OpenTelemetry SDK and is MIT-licensed with full feature parity between self-hosted and cloud offerings.

Use cases

  • self-host an open-source APM for my services
  • collect and search logs and traces via OpenTelemetry
  • track exceptions with stack traces and session replay
  • monitor endpoint latency percentiles and error rates
  • trace LLM costs and token usage for AI features
  • page on-call engineers when production breaks
  • let AI coding agents query production telemetry

When to choose

  • you want a fully open-source (MIT) alternative to Datadog or Sentry
  • you already instrument with OpenTelemetry and want OTLP-native ingest without vendor SDKs
  • you need logs, traces, metrics, replay, and alerting unified in one self-hosted dashboard
  • you want AI agents to autonomously investigate production issues

When to avoid

  • you need a long-proven platform with a large enterprise support ecosystem
  • you cannot run Docker/ClickHouse/Postgres infrastructure yourself
  • you only need a single narrow tool like pure log aggregation
