Too few sampled comments (8) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Commenters link coroot.com mainly as a pointer to the Coroot open-source observability tool and its docs, not for its blog writing; no comment evaluates the posts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 8 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
eBPF-powered and AI-guided observability platform. See every metric, log, and trace with zero code changes. 80% faster MTTR, 0 code setup.

HN discussionI think ClickHouse is becoming a default storage for observability nowdays: https://clickhouse.com/use-cases/logging-and-metrics And there are quite a few solutions on top of it. A couple of examples that seem to be interesting (however I didn't use them in real life): https://coroot.com/ https://qryn.metrico.in/#/

HN discussionLooking for target for your OTEL data checkout Coroot too - https://coroot.com/ Additionally to OTEL visualization it can use eBPF to generate traces for applications where OpenTelemetry installation can't be done.

HN discussionI'm not sure whole "Observability 2.0" focuses on the most pressing problem, which is complexity, both in deployment and usage. At Coroot we focus not on the format of the data and whenever it should be one thing or several "pillars" but rather how easy is it to install it and get the value of resolving issues quickly and easily when you need to. https://coroot.com/

HN discussionWe self-host on our own open-source product, but it helps to have a streaming data platform as a product. Not too difficult to write a connector-sink to S3. https://www.fluvio.io/ The caveat is that this is a general purpose data streaming product, so it isn't that opinionated or customized for logging. We still use logging custom frontends for browsing (e.g. grafana), but for core logging/monitoring/billing and cri…

HN discussionCoroot leverages eBPF to collect metrics and traces, and its agent parses container logs to extract recurring patterns from them. Here is the list of collected metrics with detailed descriptions: https://coroot.com/docs/metric-exporters/node-agent/metrics
