Everything you need, nothing you'll have to babysit

Beacon does the boring parts of observability so your team can spend its time on the product.

Sub-second queries

Search 30 days of traces and logs and get answers before you've finished reading the question.

Traces, logs and metrics together

Jump from a slow span to the logs it emitted to the metric that spiked, without changing tools.

Alerting that respects your attention

Grouped notifications, quiet hours, and alerts that resolve themselves when the signal recovers.

Built for the edge

First-class support for Workers, Lambda and other serverless runtimes, with sampling done before data leaves the region.

SSO, audit logs and SOC 2 on every plan

Security features aren't an upsell. Every project gets SSO, scoped API keys and a full audit trail.

OpenTelemetry native

Bring your existing instrumentation. Beacon speaks OTLP, so there's no proprietary agent and no lock-in.

Loved by engineers, tolerated by finance

“The first observability bill I've ever been able to explain to finance.”
PRPriya RamanCTO, Fieldnote
“Setup took an afternoon. I'm still not sure how the queries are this fast.”
DODaniel OkaforStaff Engineer, Lumen Labs
“We replaced three tools with Beacon and our on-call engineers stopped dreading their shifts. The trace viewer alone paid for itself in a week.”
MCMaya ChenHead of Platform, Northwind
