Coroot

Zero-instrumentation observability with eBPF and AI root-cause analysis

Open sourceApache-2.0Self-hosted

Teams running containerized services who want Datadog-style visibility without instrumenting code benefit most from Coroot: its eBPF agent builds a service map and runs predefined inspections automatically. The decisive capability is AI-assisted root-cause analysis that correlates metrics, logs, traces, and profiles into a likely cause. The material constraint is scale and governance: the free Community Edition is single-node, while multi-node high availability, SSO, audit logs, and long-term retention need paid Enterprise. If you need managed simplicity instead of self-hosting, choose Datadog; if you have operator capacity and want telemetry data on your own infrastructure, Coroot fits.[1][2][3]

Good fit. Small platform teams that want Datadog-style visibility from a self-hosted, Apache-licensed stack instead of a proprietary SaaS agent.[1][2]

Keep in mind. Teams needing multi-node scale now: the free Community Edition is single-node, and clustering with high availability requires paid Enterprise.[1]

About New Relic

New Relic was the application performance monitoring product for a generation of web applications, and its repricing to per-user plus per-gigabyte was an explicit attempt to answer the complaint about host based billing.

The tracing and code level visibility remain strong. The interface has been rebuilt more than once, which is a mixed blessing for teams with runbooks written against the old one.
