Devzero features

  • Real-time cost monitoring. Shows CPU, memory, GPU usage and cost attribution per department.
  • Workload right-sizing. Adjusts CPU, memory and GPU requests per pod to match actual demand.
  • Live migration. Instantly moves pods without restarts using checkpoint-restore.
  • Spot & GPU optimization. Selects lowest-cost instances and manages spot and GPU resources.
  • Multi-cloud support. Works with AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, OpenShift and on-prem Kubernetes.
  • Inference optimization (beta). Measures LLM traffic and routes requests to the cheapest model with caching and failover.

OpenObserve features

  • Unified observability stack. Collect, correlate and view logs, metrics, traces and more in a single platform.
  • Columnar Parquet storage. Rust-based storage engine provides 140× storage efficiency and 30× compute efficiency.
  • Auto-correlation engine. Analyzes millions of signals per second to automatically link related events.
  • AI SRE agent. Continuously triages incidents, finds root cause and drafts post-mortems.
  • AI assistant. Answers natural-language queries across all telemetry without writing queries.
  • LLM observability. Tracks prompts, completions, token usage and cost for LLM applications.
  • Kubernetes integration. One-click collector deploys logs, metrics, events and zero-code traces for clusters.
  • OpenTelemetry-native ingestion. Supports OpenTelemetry, Prometheus and Datadog agents for drop-in migration.
