Open source solutions for self-hosting

One of the most popular projects built around monitoring that is also adopted by commercial solutions is OpenTelemetry. It’s an open source project for application monitoring and observability. It provides a set of APIs, libraries, agents, and integrations for collecting, processing, and exporting telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs from different sources in distributed systems. OpenTelemetry is designed to be vendor-agnostic and cloud-native, meaning it can work with various cloud providers, programming languages, frameworks, and architectures.

The main goal of OpenTelemetry is to provide developers and operators with a unified and standardized way to instrument, collect, and analyze telemetry data across the entire stack of their applications and services, regardless of the underlying infrastructure. OpenTelemetry supports different data formats, protocols, and export destinations, including popular observability platforms...
