OpenTelemetry-Native Observability Platform

Cut observability costs by 80%. OpenTelemetry-native tracing, metrics, and logs with predictable pricing. Self-host free or use Uptrace Cloud.

You can use Uptrace to monitor your application's performance across all services and systems. It collects traces, metrics, and logs using OpenTelemetry standards, showing you service dependencies, error rates, response times, and performance bottlenecks in a single dashboard. You can self-host it for free or use their cloud service, with predictable pricing based on data volume rather than seats.
