Coroot: A Libre, Self-Hosted APM and Observability System – A Free Alternative to DataDog and NewRelic
Table of Content
Monitoring modern infrastructure can feel like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube in the dark. Between microservices, containers, and distributed systems, keeping tabs on everything is no small feat.
That’s where Coroot steps in—a game-changing, open-source APM (Application Performance Monitoring) and observability tool that flips traditional monitoring on its head. Think of it as your personal DevOps sidekick, helping you stay ahead without breaking the bank or losing sleep.
Why Coroot? Because Simplicity Meets Power
Coroot isn’t just another monitoring tool—it’s observability reimagined. Unlike other platforms drowning you in raw data, Coroot transforms metrics, logs, traces, and profiles into actionable insights, so you’re not left guessing what went wrong at 3 AM. And the best part? It does all this with zero instrumentation thanks to eBPF magic.
No more wrestling with complex configurations or invasive agents; Coroot automatically maps out 100% of your system, leaving zero blind spots.
Need a real-time health check for hundreds of services? Done. Want predefined audits that flag issues before they blow up? Covered. Tracking SLOs to keep stakeholders happy? Yep, that too. Coroot gives you an eagle-eye view of your stack while saving you from tedious manual log-sifting and metric-hunting.
Enterprise Use-Cases That’ll Make You Look Like a Hero
For enterprises juggling sprawling architectures, Coroot is nothing short of a lifesaver. Imagine effortlessly debugging production incidents across Kubernetes clusters using its intuitive Service Map, which visualizes dependencies and bottlenecks in seconds. Or picture rolling out new features with confidence, knowing Coroot’s automated inspections are silently ensuring every service meets performance standards.
It’s also perfect for cost-conscious teams looking to ditch expensive proprietary tools like DataDog or NewRelic. With Coroot, you get enterprise-grade functionality—without the enterprise-sized bill. Plus, being fully self-hosted means your data stays under your control, making compliance and security audits a breeze.
