About Parseable, an open observability datalake, handles 100M time-series/min

Unified observability platform for logs, metrics, and traces. AI-native insights, S3-native storage, SQL queries, OpenTelemetry-native, and 80x lower cost than Datadog and Splunk.

In the maker’s words

Over the past few months, we've been building Prism; a fast, developer-first observability UI that's deeply integrated with our open-source database, Parseable. Prism is designed for engineers who debug distributed systems, sometimes at odd hours, and need answers right now, without having to deal with five different tools. Backstory: We spoke to dozens of observability practitioners in large enterprises. Across the board, we heard two things: (1)The RoI on observability tools is hard to justify. (2)OSS leads to tool sprawl, metrics in Grafana, logs in ELK, traces… somewhere. We wanted a simple, unified, and fast observability platform that you can deploy on your own infra, whether it’s bare metal, VMs, or Kubernetes. Prism is the UI layer of that platform. What it does: (1)Fast Log Explorer with real-time ingestion graphs, one-click filters, saved views, and auto-detected formats. (2)Su…
