Overview

Evaluating and designing a unified observability platform that consolidates metrics, logs, and traces into a single pane of glass for all engineering teams.

Goals

  • Replace 3 separate observability tools with one platform
  • Support 1M spans/second at peak
  • Keep operational costs under $5K/month

Approach

  • OpenTelemetry for vendor-neutral instrumentation
  • ClickHouse for cost-effective trace and log storage
  • Grafana + Tempo for visualization
