Congrats on the launch! Are you planning to release the cloud features as source available or are they closed source?

#52Congrats on the launch. Perhaps I missed it, but what are the system requirements to run the self-hosted version? Seems decently heavy (Clickhouse, MongoDB, Redis, HyperDX services)? Is there a Helm chart to install into k8s? Look forward to the syslog integration which says coming soon. I have a hobby project which uses systemd services for each of my Python apps and the path with least resistance is just ingest sys…
The absolute bare minimum I'd say is 2GB RAM, though in the README we do say 4GB and 2 cores for testing, obviously more if you're at scale and need performance.
For Syslog - it's something we're actually pretty close to because we already support Heroku's syslog based messages (though it's over HTTP), but largely need to test the otel Syslog receiver + parsing pipeline will translate as well as it should (PRs always welcome of course but it shouldn't be too far out from now ourselves :)). I'm curious are you using TLS/TCP syslog or plain TCP or UDP?
Here's my docker stats on a x64 linux VM where it's doing some minimal self-logging, I suspect the otel collector memory can be tuned down to bring the memory usage closer to 1GB, but this is the default out-of-the-box stats, and the miner can be turned off if log patterns isn't needed:

#54I remember when every SaaS landing page looked like Slack, then they all looked like Stripe, and I guess now they all look like Linear.
Linear seems to be the latest trend. https://www.linears.art/ - A collection of websites inspired by Linear
I don't think the Linear trend is as strong as the Slack or Strike trend. I agree they look similar but I feel they all just look like a standard modern page.

#55Hey, cool product. I know that marketing success is not predicated on good grammar, nevertheless I felt moved to suggest a minor edit to your blurb:
"HyperDX helps engineers figure out why production is broken, faster. HyperDX centralises and correlates logs, metrics, traces, exceptions and session replays in one place."
Good luck!

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just clarifying, your alternative to open core is open nothing? Just proprietary it up?
Alternatives depend on what the goals of the person or organization who wrote the code are. There are various FOSS and source available options that can grant some freedoms while protecting others for the creator, such as if they want to let users still contribute and view the source. My main point was you should get these ducks in order first and be genuine with your intentions. Don't use FOSS as a growth hack, it n…
Nice thanks, I think you make some great points.

#57I'm interested. Datadog is cool but the price is ridiculously high for small orgs.

Our cloud features are closed source in a downstream repo - I think repos that have a very clear separation between OSS and closed are best - this also enforces that our OSS is always a fully-featured product that we develop on the OSS-only version day to day, and our cloud features are only a minor addition on top.
I've historically hit issues with repos that do an `ee` folder and blur the line between what is truly open source and self-hostable, vs need a license/cloud-only. I understand why they do that, but I hope we don't replicate that confusion ourselves :)

Is prometheus/grafana still the recommended FOSS solution?

Everyone says that.
How about: "9 out of 10 devs are now pushing to prod on fridays. Thanks to HyperDX. Hehe."
