Observability you actually own.
backwork started from a simple frustration: monitoring had become five disconnected tools, a per-gigabyte bill that scaled with your success, and dashboards that quietly lied when the data behind them stopped flowing.
So we built the opposite. One self-hosted stack that brings logs, metrics, distributed traces, requests, incidents and alerts into a single pane — running on your own hardware, with one Docker command, for free.
It's multi-tenant from the ground up, so a whole team (or a whole fleet of customers) can share one deployment with strict per-tenant isolation. It's OpenTelemetry-native, so it works with the instrumentation you already have. And it's engineered to tell the truth: an outage in the telemetry path reads as no data, never all clear.
backwork is open source. Read the code, run it yourself, or let us host it — either way, the data stays yours.
You own your data
Observability data describes exactly how your systems work. It should live on your infrastructure, not someone else's billing system.
Honesty over theatre
A dashboard is only useful if you can trust it. We never coerce missing data to zero or paint a dead pipeline green.
One pane, open standards
Logs, metrics and traces belong together — built on OpenTelemetry, Loki, VictoriaMetrics and Jaeger, not a walled garden.
