Why send telemetry to a cloud observabilty platform while coding? Why not have one on your desktop?

TinyOlly is a lightweight OpenTelemetry-native observability platform built from scratch to visualize and correlate logs, metrics, and traces. No 3rd party observability tools - just Python (FastAPI), Redis, OpenAPI, and JavaScript.

  • Think of TinyOlly as a development tool to observe and perfect your app's telemetry while in dev
  • Export app metrics, logs, and traces to the Otel collector on Docker or K8S and TinyOlly will visualize and correlate them
  • Try out exotic OpenTelemetry Collector configs in the safety of your own docker/k8s env
  • Includes a REST API with OpenAPI docs for programmatic access to all telemetry
  • TinyOlly is not designed to compete with production observability platforms! It is for local development only. It is not focused on infrastructure monitoring at this time.

Platform Support:
TinyOlly was built and tested Docker Desktop and Minikube Kubernetes on Apple Silicon Mac but may work on other platforms
