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.

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.

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.
