OBSERVATORY
an observability tool for engineers who remember when the
web was weird
█ NOW WITH 100% MORE TRUTH█
✦ Welcome to my Observatory! ✦
HEY THERE!! Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. This is OBSERVATORY, a totally rad observability tool that I made with two friends from across the world. It's open source, which means YOU can read the code, copy the code, and even YELL at the code if it does something weird.
We made this because the dashboards we were paying for kept LYING to us. Yes, lying. They smoothed out the bad stuff and showed us the good stuff and we got tired of that. OBSERVATORY tells the truth. Sometimes the truth is annoying but it's better than a comfortable lie.
ALSO! No accounts. No emails. No “sign up to see the demo.” You just download the binary and run it on your computer. It's like 1998 in here.

✦ What Observatory does ✦
- INGESTS metrics, logs, and traces in TRUE COLOR (well, 24-bit).
- QUERIES at the speed of caffeine. Yours, not ours.
- STORES on YOUR disk because the cloud is somebody else's computer.
- CHARGES nothing because we are not in the business of charging things.
- RUNS on Windows ME (probably). We have not tested. You let us know.
