Datadog alternative: self-hosted observability

Everything Datadog shows you. A fraction of the bill.

A self-hosted Datadog alternative built on OpenTelemetry, with SigNoz or the Grafana stack storing data in your own account. We map what you use today and match it before switching anything off.

Observability pricing scales with hosts, GBs and custom metrics, so the bill grows faster than your traffic. Open source on your own storage scales with hardware.

FAQ

Questions about Datadog alternative.

Will we lose features leaving Datadog?

We list every feature you rely on and match it before anything is switched off. Gaps are flagged up front.

SigNoz or Grafana?

SigNoz gives a single Datadog-like product; Grafana is more modular. We recommend based on your team and scale.

Does this work for New Relic or Dynatrace too?

Yes. The approach is the same for any per-host or per-GB vendor.

Who runs the stack afterwards?

Your team with our runbooks, or us, as part of fully managed infrastructure.
