Self-Serve BYOC Observability — Free to Start
Blog post from Groundcover
Groundcover has redefined the Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployment model by making it the sole method of operation, offering a self-serve system that allows any team to deploy their observability platform in their own cloud accounts, such as AWS or GCP, without human intervention. This innovative approach contrasts with traditional SaaS models that often complicate BYOC deployment, which typically involves extensive manual setup and professional services. Groundcover's solution enables customers to begin using the full product in minutes, providing a 14-day trial without feature limitations to test the platform using their actual production infrastructure. After the trial, a free tier with 12-hour data retention remains available, and paid plans are offered with flexible pricing based on monthly average host count, which includes options for expanded data retention and support. The company's pricing strategy, which does not depend on data volume, aims to align with customers' efficiency needs, making it a unique player in the observability space.
