ayedo Observability Platform

Observability
Made in Germany

We operate your observability stack for Metrics, Logs, and Traces – on the Victoria stack and OpenTelemetry, sovereignly in Germany. Certified hosting and 24/7 expert support included; your developers use dashboards without running the stack themselves.

The three pillars of Observability

ayedo operates the observability stack based on VictoriaMetrics , VictoriaLogs , and VictoriaTraces – predictable costs instead of building your own, fast instrumentation, and dashboards for developers while ayedo handles operations and availability.

Metrics

Prometheus-compatible metrics

Collect, store, and analyze metrics using the PromQL-compatible query language. The foundation is VictoriaMetrics , which delivers high performance and scalability with minimal resource consumption.
Prometheus-compatible PromQL VictoriaMetrics Metrics

Logs

Central log management

Aggregate and search logs from all your applications and infrastructure components. VictoriaLogs provides efficient storage and fast search, and is compatible with LogQL, the query language known from Loki .
Log Management VictoriaLogs LogQL Logs

Traces

Distributed Tracing

Follow requests across all components of your distributed systems. VictoriaTraces stores and analyzes traces efficiently and fully supports OpenTelemetry.
VictoriaTraces Traces OpenTelemetry Distributed

Cloud-Native Stack

Our observability solution is built on production-proven open-source components specifically developed for Kubernetes and cloud-native architectures.

OpenTelemetry

Vendor-neutral instrumentation

Instrument your applications in a vendor-neutral way with OpenTelemetry . Our platform provides OTLP endpoints for metrics, logs, and traces.
OTel OTLP Instrumentation Vendor-neutral

Native collectors

VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, VictoriaTraces, or OpenTelemetry

Telemetry is ingested via the native collectors of the Victoria suite or via OpenTelemetry (OTLP) – without an Alloy agent in the pipeline.

Grafana

Unified Dashboarding

Grafana forms the central frontend for metrics, logs, and traces. Predefined dashboards for Kubernetes, infrastructure, and applications are included.
Grafana Dashboards Visualization Alerting

Alerting

Multi-channel alerting

Define alerting via Grafana Alertmanager or dedicated alerting rules. Notifications reach your team through Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, PagerDuty, and other channels.
Alertmanager Slack PagerDuty Notifications

Built for developers

Dashboards without ops overhead

Your development teams create dashboards, configure alerts, and explore data themselves – ayedo operates the observability infrastructure.
Developer Dashboards Operations

High Availability

Enterprise-ready

All components can be operated in a highly available setup. Automatic sharding and replication ensure maximum fault tolerance.
HA Sharding Replication Enterprise

The APM Stack

Our pre-configured APM Stack combines carefully matched components for Application Performance Monitoring – delivered as a Managed App in your Kubernetes cluster.

Grafana

Visualization

Grafana delivers professional dashboarding with predefined panels for Kubernetes, infrastructure, and custom metrics.

VictoriaMetrics

Metrics Backend

VictoriaMetrics stores your metrics with high performance and Prometheus compatibility – at very low resource consumption.
Prometheus Storage Performance

VictoriaLogs

Logs Backend

VictoriaLogs stores your logs efficiently, compresses them effectively, and offers a LogQL-compatible query interface.
Logs LogQL Storage

VictoriaTraces

Traces Backend

VictoriaTraces stores distributed traces in an object storage backend, enabling cost-effective long-term retention. The component is part of the Victoria suite.
