Overview

What is Uptrace?

Uptrace is an open source observability and APM platform, OpenTelemetry-native. It ingests the three pillars of observability — distributed traces, metrics, and logs — via the OTLP protocol, and correlates them to help you understand exactly what is happening in your applications.

Practically, Uptrace tracks each request across your microservices with flame graphs and a dependency map, exposes PromQL-compatible metrics along with many pre-built dashboards, and offers full-text search on structured logs, automatically linked to corresponding traces and metrics.

On the technical side, the platform receives data via OTLP from any OpenTelemetry SDK (Go, Python, Node.js, Java, .NET…), stores time-series telemetry in ClickHouse and metadata in PostgreSQL. Self-hostable without feature limits, Uptrace is the sovereign alternative to observability SaaS: you fully own your data.

Host Uptrace at DINAO

No managed container for Uptrace: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (2 vCPU / 4 Go / 10 Go minimum).

Uptrace needs a level of access to the machine that the managed container, shared between several customers, does not give. Two VPS hosted in France: DINAO installs and manages it for you, or you administer it yourself.

Technical reason: bind mount of a host path (named volumes only in the managed offer).

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About Uptrace 6 questions

What is an OpenTelemetry-native platform?

Uptrace directly ingests telemetry in OTLP format emitted by OpenTelemetry SDKs, without proprietary agents. Any application instrumented with OpenTelemetry (Go, Python, Node.js, Java, .NET…) sends its data without additional configuration.

What can I monitor with Uptrace?

The three pillars of observability: traces (tracking a request across your services), metrics (p99 latency, error rate, CPU…) and logs, all correlated to quickly identify the cause of an incident.

Is it an alternative to Datadog or New Relic?

Yes, it is an open source and self-hosted alternative. You keep key features (APM, dashboards, alerts) while hosting your telemetry with you, in France, with no event-based billing.

Where are my production data stored?

On DINAO infrastructure in France. Your traces, metrics, and logs never leave the country — a key point when telemetry contains sensitive data.

How does Uptrace store so much data?

Time-series telemetry is stored in ClickHouse (highly performant for large volumes) and metadata in PostgreSQL. DINAO sizes storage and retention according to your tier.

Is this application tested before it is offered?

This application has not yet passed our automatic deployment test. It can still be installed, but we invite you to contact us before ordering: we will then test it as a priority. The deployment template used was last updated on 3 July 2026. Each new version released by the publisher triggers this test again: the date above therefore follows the version actually offered.

In which data centre is my service hosted?

In France, in DINAO's private racks within two third-party data centres: Free Pro in Marseille (MAR02) and Euclyde DC1 in Sophia-Antipolis. The operator provides the building, power, cooling and physical security; DINAO operates everything inside its racks, entirely and independently.
