It would have even much better if the link was pointing to https://github.com/hyperdxio/hyperdx the actual source code.

Because right now without the message on HN here, I wouldn't know what "open source observability stack" meant when the webpage does not explain what HyperDX is, nor does it provide a link to it or its code. I was expecting the whole thing "Open Source Datadog" to be ClickStack Repo inside Clickhouse Github. Which is not found anywhere.

But other than that congrats!. I have long wondered why no one has built anything on top of Clickhouse for Datadog / New Relic competition.

The Clickhouse DB opened up the ocean of open source "Scalable" Web Analytics that wont previously available or possible. I am hoping we see this change again to observability platform as well.

Hey that's a good point on the link! Not something I can change now unfortunately, I was hoping having it near the top of the text post would help too for those that wanted to dig in more :)

That being said - as you've mentioned so many different "store tons of data" apps have been enabled from ClickHouse. Observability is at a point where it's in the same category of: ClickHouse can store a ton of data, OTel can help you collect/process it, and now we just need that analytics user experience layer to present it to the engineers that need an intuitive way to dive in to it all.

check out SigNoz: https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz

We started building signoz as an OS alternative of Datadog/New Relic four years back and opentelemetry-native from day 1. We have shipped some good features on top of Opentelemetry and because of OTel's semantic conventions & our query builder, you can correlate any telemetry across signals.
