Note that “Datadog alternative” doesn’t appear in the readme, also without a metrics component is could hardly be considered a datadog alternative. Most of the features seem to be coming soon. Interesting nonetheless.

Honestly, Ventura is the worst MacOS update in a long time. For example, I’ve experienced constant WindowServer crashes until I stopped using full screen for apps. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/719033
