Looks very similar to what we're doing at https://highlight.io. Would love to trade notes at some point.

One thing to consider with your messaging is that when you start speaking to large companies, they won't see you as a datadog alternative. They'll see you as a mix of sentry + fullstory + honeycomb.

Datadog originally found its success with its metrics products, and the larger the buyer of datadog gets, the more metrics-esque use case a company finds. The session replay, logging and other things are simply products that datadog tacks on.

That being said, this is clearly a large market (which is why we're working on it). I particularly like the tracing UI that y'all have and I'd love to chat with your team at some point. Good luck.



It seems there are a lot of Datadog competitor upstarts - also saw Axiom.co recently, though that one doesn't appear to be open source. As a developer not well-versed in observability tooling I don't really have a basis for comparing all these.


You're charging for your product, this is MIT licensed. As the meme goes, "we are not the same."


Highlight is Apache-2, which is for all intents and purposes equivalent to MIT if the work is not subject to patent. (this is my understanding, IANAL)


As other commenters mentioned, we are both comparable (pending your opinion on the MIT license).

We both charge a cloud saas fee as well:

they both charge money and they're both some variant of open source.
