Coroot

84/100open sourcefreemiumexplicit relation

Coroot is an open-source observability platform that uses eBPF to automatically instrument Kubernetes applications without code changes. It provides application maps, latency analysis, log correlation, and continuous profiling with automatic anomaly detection. Replaces the need for manual instrumentation with agents that capture metrics, traces, and logs at the kernel level.

Coroot Community Edition is 100% free and open-source under Apache-2.0 (~7.9k stars), offering self-hosted eBPF-based zero-instrumentation metrics, service maps, distributed tracing, and log inspection with ClickHouse storage. Coroot Enterprise is priced at a predictable $1 per monitored CPU core/month (with volume discounts for large clusters), adding AI-powered automated root cause analysis (RCA), continuous profiling, Postgres/MySQL deep inspection, SSO/SAML, granular RBAC, and 24/7 SLA support.Review →
