Dash0
OpenTelemetry-native observability, when it fits
We are an authorised Dash0 referral provider. We help UK businesses evaluate and adopt Dash0 when an OpenTelemetry-native platform with predictable pricing is the right answer for their stack.
What Dash0 brings
Built by an OpenTelemetry team, sold on telemetry volume rather than user seats. A modern take on observability for teams that value open standards and predictable cost.
No proprietary agents, no lock-in to a single vendor data format. Standard OpenTelemetry collectors point at Dash0; instrumented services surface data without a configuration project.
Billing on telemetry volume rather than user seats or ingested bytes. Cost rises with usage, not with team headcount.
Familiar query language and dashboard format from the open ecosystem. Reduces switching cost in either direction.
Autonomous investigation that proposes fixes as pull requests. A new approach to alert noise and on-call burden, worth evaluating if your team is over-paged.
Designed for short time-to-value. Useful for greenfield projects and proof-of-value engagements where months of platform setup is not on the table.
We refer clients to Dash0 when it fits their situation. If a different platform fits better, we will say so and help you compare alternatives.
When Dash0 is the right answer
Not every observability problem points at Grafana, Datadog, or Splunk. Dash0 fits when you want OpenTelemetry-native delivery, predictable cost, and modern incident-response patterns without years of legacy to migrate.
Greenfield observability
Starting from scratch with no legacy monitoring contract to migrate. Dash0 short setup time is a real benefit when there is no incumbent to displace.
Cost predictability is the priority
If telemetry-volume billing maps more honestly to your workload than user seats or ingest bytes, Dash0 pricing model fits cleanly.
Open standards as a requirement
PromQL and Perses compatibility means you do not lock into a single vendor query language or dashboard format. Useful when portability is a procurement requirement.
Curious about autonomous incident response
Agent0 approach is genuinely new. We can help you evaluate whether it fits your on-call shape and engineering culture before you commit to it.
