How Decklar Improved IoT Log Management with OpenObserve

Decklar, a leader in IoT-driven supply chain visibility, faced significant challenges with its observability tools as its data volumes soared, including limitations in the ELK stack and a fragmented toolset that hindered efficiency and reliability. To address these issues, Decklar transitioned to OpenObserve, an open-source platform that streamlined their observability processes by offering real-time streaming, searchable historical logs, and a unified toolset, which improved scalability, developer efficiency, and operational simplicity. By March 2025, OpenObserve had transformed Decklar's entire production log pipeline, eliminating frequent search timeouts and reducing reliance on DevOps for log retrieval, thus allowing developers direct access to dashboards and cutting issue resolution times dramatically. This strategic shift not only supported Decklar's rapid growth but also reinforced its commitment to delivering real-time visibility to clients, while setting the stage for future enhancements such as the integration of traces and metrics.
