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.
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.
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.
Traces
Distributed Tracing
Follow requests across all components of your distributed systems. VictoriaTraces stores and analyzes traces efficiently and fully supports OpenTelemetry.
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.
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.
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.
Built for developers
Dashboards without ops overhead
Your development teams create dashboards, configure alerts, and explore data themselves – ayedo operates the observability infrastructure.
High Availability
Enterprise-ready
All components can be operated in a highly available setup. Automatic sharding and replication ensure maximum fault tolerance.
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.
VictoriaLogs
Logs Backend
VictoriaLogs stores your logs efficiently, compresses them effectively, and offers a LogQL-compatible query interface.
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.
