Last9
Last9 enables teams to monitor applications and infrastructure through metrics, logs, and traces collected via OpenTelemetry and Prometheus. It offers service discovery, real-user performance monitoring, threshold-based and anomaly detection alerting, service-level objective tracking, and dashboarding for visibility across cloud infrastructure and applications.
OpenTelemetry
LeaderOpenTelemetry is an open-source framework that equips developers with SDKs, libraries, agents, and collector services to capture distributed traces, metrics, and logs from applications. It enables vendor-neutral observability by allowing teams to instrument code once and export telemetry data to any backend system without vendor lock-in.
