Dash0

Dash0 nails it as an observability tool, especially for teams already using OpenTelemetry. With native PromQL, there’s no need to learn new syntax or naming – it just fits. Traces are super clear, making it straightforward to spot slow routes and see how services are interacting. Plus, setup is fast, support is solid, and the team keeps shipping new features. Overall, Dash0 makes troubleshooting faster and easier, no frills needed.

Dash0 started with the vision to build observability that fully embraces Open Telemetry. Instead of building the core observability product first, they built OTelBin. A small Open Source project that helps configuring OpenTelemetry collectors. The main product just launched. Its an observability solution that is as mature as many of their competitors. It launched already with full support for metrics, traces and logs, as well as dashboarding and alerting features. Everything fully built on OpenTelemetry, using the established and community agreed upon semantics. Supporting many Community projects in the OTel ecosystem like Perses, which allows apps to ship with dashboards as code. Its fast, its beautiful and clearly built by a team that is passionate about building the best o11y solution on the market!

I really like the tracing support. Compared to other tools I have used, Dash0 doesn’t make things complex, it’s very intuitive 😊
