Self-hosting agent o11y

The real cost of self-hosting your agent observability stack by Armend Avdijaj shows what it costs to self-host Langfuse, Phoenix, or Laminar both in terms of infra and effort.

Pricing

With O11y Watch you can compare 70 hand-verified observability vendor pricing pages and get the raw dataset for free in JSON format, under CC BY 4.0.

What not to observe

The one and only Andrew Mallaband shared When AI Starts Acting, What Can We Afford Not to Observe? and as per usual offering great insights.

Tooling

Tools I stumbled upon and found useful:

  • curlplot.dev promises "If you can curl it, you can plot it" and that without instrumentation.
  • ObserveCraft, an OSS offering, accepts the Datadog intake APIs and lets you keep your instrumentation and tags as they are.

That was it for this edition of the o11y newsletter. Feel free to share news items with me via Bluesky DM. Stay safe and hope to see you around next week!
