About TinyOlly

BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) Observability Platform for OpenTelemetry
Introducing TinyOlly
TinyOlly is located here: https://github.com/tinyolly/tinyolly
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
