Architecture

ollyScale Architecture

Data Storage

  • Format: Full OpenTelemetry (OTEL) format for traces, logs, and metrics
  • Postgress: All telemetry stored
  • Sorted Sets: Time-series data indexed by timestamp
  • Correlation: Native trace-metric-log correlation via trace/span IDs
  • Cardinality Protection: Prevents metric explosion
  • No Persistence: Data vanishes after TTL (ephemeral dev tool)

OTLP Compatibility

ollyScale is fully OpenTelemetry-native:

  • Ingestion: Accepts OTLP/gRPC (primary) and OTLP/HTTP
  • Storage: Stores traces, logs, and metrics in full OTEL format with resources, scopes, and attributes
  • Correlation: Native support for trace/span ID correlation across all telemetry types
  • REST API: Exposes OTEL-formatted JSON for programmatic access
  • Control Plane: OpenTelemetry Collector OpAmp for dynamic configuration
