Dash0
What Dash0 is
Dash0 is an application performance monitoring service that turns OpenTelemetry data into service KPIs, bottleneck detection, and failure analysis. Its service maps lay out application dependencies and let teams inspect service summaries, resource details, and related telemetry. Triage compares logs and traces to help narrow down the cause of performance problems. Dash0 says its OpenTelemetry-native approach does not require proprietary SDKs. Dashboards work with Perses and can be imported or exported. Listed integrations include SDKs for Node.js, Python, Java, Go, .NET, PHP, and Ruby, plus AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Vercel. Alerting connections include Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, email, Discord, and Google Chat. Dash0 offers a 14-day trial but no free plan. It lists telemetry usage-based pricing at $0.02 a month, Synthetic API Check Runs at $0.20 a month, Agent0 Credits at $0.60 a month, and AI SDLC Insights at $10 a month. It states that it is SOC 2 Type II audited, supports GDPR and HIPAA, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and offers EU and US data residency.
