Otelic

Otelic is a hosted platform designed to provide centralized log and trace management for applications, with a focus on affordability and ease of use for developers. It addresses the challenges of searching and monitoring logs and traces across multiple servers, eliminating the need for insecure SSH access and manual log inspection. The platform enables users to search logs and traces in a single location, create alerts to maintain application uptime, and automate responses using webhooks.

NET, Erlang, Go, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, and Swift. It also integrates with cloud and container environments such as Kubernetes and the OpenTelemetry Collector. This broad compatibility allows developers to instrument their applications and collect observability data with minimal effort, leveraging existing open-source libraries for databases and APIs.

Otelic offers features such as log exploration, search capabilities, and alerting, providing full observability into application performance. Traces within the platform help developers diagnose issues by showing the complete execution path of a request, including slow endpoints and the specific causes of latency or failure. The platform is designed to be accessible, with claims that developers can get started within minutes and without extensive training.

Security and compliance are emphasized, with all data encrypted both in transit and at rest, stored exclusively in Europe. Otelic operates in Lithuania and uses a combination of local encryption keys and AWS Key Management Service to meet requirements for GDPR, SOC 2, and HIPAA, and is working towards full compliance with these standards. The service is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to other log and trace management solutions, with a pricing model highlighted as competitive. Otelic is intended for developers seeking a straightforward, secure, and centralized way to monitor application logs and traces.
