Better Stack

Unified observability platform combining log management, distributed tracing, infrastructure monitoring, uptime checks, error tracking, and incident management in a single suite. Built on OpenTelemetry and eBPF for instrumentation with minimal code changes, with AI-assisted incident response and root cause analysis.

BetterStack serves both startups and enterprises, with a cost structure that allows ingesting full data volumes without sampling. Offers Sentry SDK compatibility for error tracking, MCP server integration for LLM workflows, Terraform providers, and Slack-first incident management. Open-source integrations include an eBPF collector for Kubernetes and Docker that gathers logs, metrics, and traces without application changes.

Key features:

• OpenTelemetry-native tracing with eBPF-based service mapping and zero-code instrumentation
• Log management with SQL querying, pattern filtering, and S3-backed storage
• Incident management with Slack integration, smart incident merging, and AI-generated post-mortems
• Uptime monitoring with Playwright transaction checks, traceroute, and screenshots on failure
• Error tracking compatible with Sentry SDKs, plus MCP server for AI assistant integration

Engineering teams consolidate monitoring across logs, metrics, and traces in one platform. DevOps use the eBPF collector to instrument Kubernetes clusters without redeploying applications. On-call teams reduce noise through incident merging and resolve issues directly in Slack. Developers track errors from 100+ platforms with familiar Sentry-compatible SDKs and query telemetry via SQL or PromQL.
