Most teams without a dedicated SRE face a choice they don't want to make:

• Pay enterprise — Datadog + Sentry + PagerDuty. Three bills, three SDKs, three auth systems, metered per host / per event / per seat. Surprise overages at 2 AM.
• Glue OSS together — Prometheus + Grafana + Loki + Tempo + Alertmanager + an OTel Collector + something for errors. Weeks of wiring, weekly ops work.

Traceway is one MIT-licensed product that bundles every observability pillar. Stitched by a single trace ID. Pointed at by any OTel SDK. Free to self-host, fixed-price on Cloud — and no overage charges, ever.

Plus: Impact Score (5-signal endpoint ranking), per-endpoint slow thresholds, alerts to Slack / GitHub Issues / email / webhook, multi-tenant orgs with role-based access (owner / admin / user / readonly), and a Flutter SDK with full screen recording — measured at 0% steady-state CPU impact and ~16 MB median RAM during capture.

An event is one issue, one HTTP request, or one background-task run. Spans, custom metrics, logs, and session replays are included at no additional event cost. Self-hosted is unlimited and free.

git clone https://github.com/tracewayapp/traceway
cd traceway && docker compose up -d
# ✓ dashboard at http://localhost

Point any OTel SDK at http://localhost/api/otel/v1/traces (or /metrics, /logs) and data flows. Production deployment, TLS, and storage configuration are covered in the self-hosting docs.

Run Traceway inside your Go process — no Docker, no external databases, SQLite under the hood:

go get github.com/tracewayapp/traceway/backend

import tracewaybackend "github.com/tracewayapp/traceway/backend"

func main() {
    go tracewaybackend.Run(
        tracewaybackend.WithPort(8082),
        tracewaybackend.WithDefaultUser("admin@localhost.com", "admin"),
        tracewaybackend.WithDefaultProject("My App", "go", "dev-token"),
    )

    // ... start your app, point its OTel exporter at http://localhost:8082/api/otel/v1/traces
}

Open http://localhost:8082, log in, hit your app, and traces appear. Walkthrough in the embedded mode guide; see the working example.

Sign up free — Starter tier is 10k events/month, no card. Same MIT code, run by us.

Every integration ships traces, metrics, and logs over OTLP/HTTP — no proprietary SDK required. Missing one? Open an issue.
