Is it SaaS-only?

If it weren't, then you'd need servers and it couldn't be serverless! :)

This architecture diagram (https://oodle.ai/product#magicbehindoodle) goes into more detail into where we leverage Serverless. For ingestion, we still use dedicated compute, but for queries, we leverage serverless.

"Serverless" is an overloaded term marketing that really means functions-as-a-service. Looking at the stack, I don't actually see any components that you couldn't easily port to an on-prem solution.

"fully managed, serverless"

So its not really a drop in replacement for prometheus then, its more of a send all your data to some other bloke kind of replacement.

Software as a service is fine, but you dont need to hide it behind hip marketing terminology.

I have been meaning to ask the observability experts this question:

Why not dump all metrics , events and logs into Clickhouse ? and purge data as necessary? For small to medium sized businesses/solution ecosystem, will this be be enough ?

It'll work. Clickhouse has even experimental support for storing prometheus metrics natively. A big missing piece is alerting.

We, at Workorb, migrated from Grafana to Oodle and very happy so far. Observability space does need a ground up reimagination and we think Oodle is positioned to do that.

I'm curious, why did you move off of grafana?

For the same reasons op listed or for other reasons?

yes, it's only fully managed at this time. However, oodle is very cost-efficient, it's cheaper than your self-hosted infra costs. https://oodle.ai/usecases/self-hosted

any plans to open source? I feel very comfortable using neon.tech (separates compute from storage for postgres) b/c they open source their stack but it would be hard for me to adopt something like oodle without an open source version.
