Gigapipe

Gigapipe is an observability platform designed to replace complex, vendor-locked services. It brings together logs, metrics, traces, and profiling data into a single, unified system. You keep using the Grafana interface you're familiar with for dashboards and visualization, but Gigapipe replaces the backend storage and processing layers. This means you can ingest data from tools like Prometheus, Loki, and OpenTelemetry, but store and query it all through one high-performance engine.

The platform is built on ClickHouse, a columnar database known for speed, which allows for fast queries and deep correlation across different data types. A key advantage is its polyglot design; it supports multiple ingestion and query protocols out of the box, so you can integrate it with your existing tooling without rewriting everything. It's also open-source (AGPLv3), giving you the freedom to self-host, customize, and avoid being locked into a specific vendor's ecosystem and pricing model.

Gigapipe is built for engineering teams that manage large-scale, distributed systems. It's a practical choice for DevOps and SRE teams who are tired of juggling separate tools for logs and metrics or facing unpredictable cloud observability bills. It works well for organizations that want to consolidate their monitoring stack, gain better data correlation, and maintain full control over their observability data and costs.
