   That's an interesting point. Curious, would you use a project which supports a simple/in-memory datastore, but not anything which would be useful in production environment? Do you think that easy to get running and setup in dev en

   We had checked out both these projects. Our view was that RedPanda was still an early project ( ~1.5K stars) and Pulsar was very similar to Kafka, and Kafka was more well known compared to Pulsar

   Curious, is there an alternative to Kafka which would be more easier for you to adopt?

   Thanks! We are aware of the CNCF landscape. As you mentioned, most of the products are point solutions which need to be combined to build an end to end solution. What we found was that combining different point solution tools can be non-tri

   Thanks for your suggestions on better ways to support self hosting! I agree we need to do a much better job here. We chose Kafka and Druid because: 1. Any company which reaches a decent scale invariably uses some form of Kafka. And it is a

    Great question! Our aim is to make the self-hosting of monitoring/observability systems so simple that people would prefer it compared to sending everything to SaaS vendors. We think that the current open source solutions are disparate

    Thanks. You make an interesting point. That is actually something we are constantly asked by our users. I guess our approach would be to prioritise developing of integrations based on community demand, and as we mature as a project - we wo

    Cool. Hit me up on our slack community if you face any issues. Good point regarding README. We certainly need to do a better job at it. Will update it soon.

    Thanks. No, we don't require a CLA from contributors. Though honestly speaking, we have not given lots of thought around CLAs - as we are still pretty young as a project.

    Yes, 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 analyt

    As 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

    So, they use self hosted version because they trust their own info sec practices more than that of Gitlab?

    There was a post by an economist that low rates is a tool in the hand of politicians and once the get a taste of it, they never let it go. At least I see this happening in India. Central bank is influenced by govts to keep rates low. Don&

    I think Prometheus works well for getting infra metrics, but getting application metrics in Prometheus is non-trivial. DataDog on the other hand, provides complete application monitoring and tracing. Agree with you that teams who want to

    Why do you need a self-hosted alternative for DataDog? Why not just use datadog itself?

    What metrics do you want to monitor? Are these things like latency, error rates etc? Or more like dyno memory usage, cpu usage and so on?

    I am assuming you upload your docker image to a container registry and use it in a deployment file to run on a k8s cluster. Many people run k8s in local machine to test if things are running as expected. Creating a docker image, uploading t
