- knrz 6y agoI guess YC is diversifying their bets :-)
- pranay01 6y agoAs we understand, both of us are taking a very different approach. Opstrace is removing the operational burden of running existing open source projects like Cortex & Loki, while we are building a new observability platform including the UI. We are focusing on making the experience seamless like existing SaaS tools rather than stitching together disparate tools. We are more focused on observability with traces rather than only metrics and logs - and support things like custom aggregates on traces. We believe that going from metrics to traces to find the exact root cause will be increasingly more important
- zapita 6y agoI think PostHog is a more relevant comparison: https://posthog.com https://posthog.com
- pranay01 6y agoYes, PostHog is one of projects we really like. They are also taking a similar approach of providing great open source alternative to existing SaaS tools. Though we are in very different domains - PostHog primarily deals with product analytics, while we focus more on application monitoring like finding application latency of your deployed applications, finding error rates in APIs, etc. Our product will be useful for devops engineers while PostHog is for product managers & digital marketing manager
- nijave 6y agoPosthog looks like OSS MixPanel
- ignoramous 6y agonit: public github repo != f/oss.
- yakkomajuri 6y agoActually we do have a fully FOSS version: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-foss https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-foss Main repo contains some enterprise code.
