Open source observability should not be hard. What companies package as their enterprise offering should be available to anyone who wants to monitor their systems. Opstrace is a complete monitoring platform designed for the end user instead of the expert. It's goal is to be as easy to use and operate as a hosted SaaS provider but within ones own cloud account. This is not only up to 10x more cost-efficient but also allows full control over ones data.

Previously he has worked at Cloudflare, Mesosphere and Red Hat in San Francisco. Building teams and projects. Co-founded Docker, a Y-Combinator startup.
