Leverage eBPF to instrument clusters without code changes

Connect your Kubernetes or Docker clusters to gather logs, metrics, and network traces with eBPF. No code changes required.

Ship logs with our remotely controlled eBPF collectors

Leverage our remotely controlled collector to gather logs, metrics, and traces using eBPF and OpenTelemetry. Remotely monitor collector’s throughput and adjust sampling, compression, and batching as needed.

Databases auto-instrumented automatically

Collector automatically recognizes databases
running in your cluster. Monitor the internals of your PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Memcached or
MongoDB out-of-box.

Transform wide events with VRL

Transform logs, spans or other wide events to redact personally identifiable information or simply discard useless events so that you don’t get billed.

Built for OpenTelemetry

Future-proof your applications with OpenTelemetry-native observability. Retain the option to change vendors, and optimize costs as needed. You’re in charge.

Explore with “bubble up”

Investigate slow requests visually with drag & drop. Simply select the right services and timeframe to instantly see the root cause of slow requests.

eBPF-based service map

Monitor network flows, auto-instrument databases, and track SLOs of individual services. Everything out-of-box with the Better Stack collector.

Sophisticated anomaly detection

Leverage our recommended alerts or the automated anomaly detection and get alerted via Slack, e-mail, phone, SMS, and more. Incident management & on-call is built-in.

Request breakdown, Apdex, and RED metrics

Everything you need to understand the overall health of a service in a single dashboard.

Q4 2025

Get a “Cursor for SREs”

Get your engineers a copilot. Semi-automated incident resolution based on eBPF, OpenTelemetry. Launching in late 2025.

Get a copilot to resolve
incidents with you at 3 am

Leverage automated root cause analysis based on the eBPF-based service map & log analysis. You’re always in charge.

Did the HTTP latency increase in eu-west too or just in us-east and us-west?

Semi-automated root cause analysis

Better Stack AI SRE uses all available logs, metrics, and traces from your infrastructure to analyze what’s happening in your cluster in realtime.

You’re always in control

The AI SRE suggests hypotheses but never takes any automated actions without your approval. Get help when investigating an incident while remaining in charge.

Ingest JSON wide events at scale, get sub-second analytical queries

Powered by a purpose-built data processing pipeline able to process petabytes to exabytes of JSON wide events without cardinality limitations. Get sub-second dashboards, versatile querying APIs at an unbeatable unit cost.

Wide events & time series

Get the best of both worlds: scalability and cost-efficiency of JSON wide events stored in object storage, and fast analytical queries with highly compressed time series stored on local NVMe SSD drives.

Available in 4 regions, custom deployments on request

Leverage our self-serve clusters in Virginia, Oregon, Germany or Singapore today or request a deployment of a custom cluster with a dedicated S3 bucket in your own VPC.

Run any SQL queries via an HTTP API

Think of Better Stack as a data warehouse. Your data is yours. Host them in your own S3 bucket and run arbitrary SQL queries via our HTTP API.

At a fraction of
your current costs

Get an unrivaled price-to-performance ratio. Decrease your budget by 30x or keep your current budget but actually instrument all of your services, without sampling.
