🚀 Dash0 Raises $9.5M Seed Round to Simplify Observability for Developers 🚀 We’re thrilled to announce that Dash0, the first OpenTelemetry-native (@opentelemetry) #observability platform, has raised $9.5M in seed financing to bring simple, standardized observability to modern, cloud-based businesses! This round was led by Accel (Harry Nelis, @hnelis), with participation from Dig Ventures (Ross Mason, @rossmason ) and angels including Guy Podjarny,@guypod (co-founder, Snyk), Guillermo Rauch, @rauchg (CEO, Vercel), André Christ, @christ_andre (CEO, SAP LeanIX), Geeta Schmidt,@geeters (CEO, Humio), Dion Almaer,@dalmaer (Product, Augment Code) and Florian Leibert, @flo (GP, 468 Capital). With observability more important than ever in the $50B observability and monitoring tools market, Dash0 was built from the ground up to unlock OpenTelemetry’s potential. Here’s what sets us apart: • OpenTelemetry-Native: No proprietary data—fully standardized, vendor-agnostic insights using OTel Resources as context • Transparent Pricing: Pay only based on the data sent and fully understand the origin, giving developers complete control over observability costs. • Intuitive and Flexible UI: Customizable dashboards, views, checks and powerful filtering and query building with full support for #PromQL, PersesDev, and integrations with Slack and more. Dash0 has been designed to make observability easy, affordable, and actionable for developers worldwide. After a successful beta with users like catchHR, Chargetrip, and Porsche Digital, Dash0 is now fully launched and available to all. A huge thank you to our investors and everyone who has supported us on this journey - especially our early angels: Jason Heine, Thilo Konzok(@thilokonzok),Melissa Lester (@MelissaLester4), Rytis Vitkauskas(@RytisVit), Ameet Patel, Claudius Weinberger (@weinberger), Pete Abrams (@PeteAbrams), Chris Schagen(@cschagen), Raphael Weiner (@raphweiner), Berthold von Freyberg (@bvfreyberg), Jörg Binnenbrücker (@bibrue) Ready to experience #observability simplified?

At Dash0 we are 100% committed to the OpenTelemetry standard and are building an observability platform that will be OpenTelemetry-native. We have released an article outlining our view on what OpenTelemetry-native means. To summarize, we think those 11 points are defining OpenTelemetry-native: 1. Full support of all OpenTelemetry signals (Logs, Metrics, Traces) 2. Contextualize those signals with OpenTelemetry Semantic convention-based attributes 3. Automated Quality Control for telemetry metadata 4. Resource centricity 5. Seamless integration with the cloud-native ecosystem 6. One open query language for all signals 7. Health and alerting system 8. Sampling, data control, and scale 9. One-click comparison of signals across resources and timeframes 10. Fully integrated Real-User-Monitoring (RUM) 11. Export and import OTLP

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐬𝐡𝟎! We are pleased to spotlight David Greven, a key member of our team driving Dash0’s innovation. David joined Dash0 directly from university with a newly acquired bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering. Just days after graduation, he began contributing to the development of Dash0, swiftly becoming an essential part of our backend team. His fresh perspective and growing expertise have made a significant impact. David plays a crucial role in our backend operations, overseeing the efficient retrieval and processing of data, our recently introduced alerting system, and ensuring the platform's seamless functionality. His efforts are central to maintaining the high performance and reliability that Dash0 is known for. 𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭 David enjoys getting lost in a good book outside of his technical role. 📚 Since joining Dash0 in July 2023, David has become an integral part of our team, and we are proud to have him with us!

💡𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥? 𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬💡 Observability costs can quickly escalate, often due to complex and hard-to-understand pricing models. At Dash0, we believe in transparent and predictable pricing. Here's a look at the various pricing models used by observability vendors: - 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐭: Charges based on the number of hosts. While simple, it doesn't account for the actual data generated, leading to potential imbalances and unpredictable costs. - 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫: Common in SaaS but less effective for observability. The number of users doesn't directly relate to the data processed, potentially limiting access for developers and SREs. - 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞: Based on the amount of data processed (in GB). Although it reflects storage and processing costs, it's unpredictable due to the dynamic nature of logs and spans, making it hard to estimate. - 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥: Our preferred model for simplicity and transparency. Each log, span, or metric is counted equally, regardless of size or protocol, providing clear and predictable costs. At Dash0, we've opted for pricing by signal count to ensure fair and transparent billing. No surprises, just straightforward costs based on the signals you send.

𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 💡 Through the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions, resources also have an implicit structure and hierarchy that can be used to quickly understand and explore complex architectures - from both application and infrastructure perspectives. Check out the full article here: dash0.com/faq/what-are-opent… 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 In the same way resources can be used to model logical components of our systems, i.e., the services, they can also be used to model the infrastructure underpinning them. Using these infrastructure-related metadata, one can have an overview of, for example, CPU and memory utilization of hosts or the capacity of pods. Solutions such as Dash0 can optimize for this for the first time ever because OpenTelemetry's semantic conventions standardize attributes and metrics!
