What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Grafana Loki

An open-source logging system that stores logs as labeled streams rather than indexing full log text, reducing storage overhead and enabling fast queries. It integrates with Prometheus and Grafana to provide unified observability across logs and metrics.

Independently observed

Mezmo

Leader

Mezmo provides a telemetry pipeline platform for observability, including tools like AURA (an SRE agent platform for safe AI automation), pipeline management via Terraform, and log querying capabilities. It supports Kubernetes deployment through Helm charts and integrates with platforms like Slack and PagerDuty.
