What is Parseable?
Parseable is an observability data lake designed for logs, metrics, and distributed traces. It stores telemetry data in open columnar formats on object storage like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or MinIO. The platform runs as a single binary written in Rust and requires no external dependencies beyond the chosen object store.
Users can ingest data through OpenTelemetry protocols or HTTP endpoints. Queries run using PostgreSQL-compatible SQL and PromQL, allowing teams to analyze high-cardinality telemetry without leaving their existing infrastructure. The system handles compression, caching, and indexing automatically while keeping full data ownership with the user.
Parseable offers built-in dashboards, alerts, service maps, and AI-assisted root cause analysis. It integrates with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Kafka, and various LLM providers. Deployment options include self-hosted open source software, a managed cloud tier, and enterprise configurations with bring-your-own-cloud storage.
