Imagine a world where observability is... well, easy. That’s what we’re building at Dash0. We’re not just another observability company, we’re a team of passionate experts who are obsessed with making observability accessible and delightful for every developer.

We are OpenTelemetry-native, ensuring seamless interoperability within modern observability ecosystems, and our “welcome present” to the OpenTelemetry community, OTelBin, a free editing, visualization, and validation tool for OpenTelemetry collector configurations, has been extremely well received.
