How Stonal Accelerated Issue Diagnosis and Met European Compliance Standards while Decreasing Observability Costs with OpenObserve
Blog post from OpenObserve
Stonal, a French PropTech company focused on property management, transitioned from a costly cloud-based observability solution, SigNoz, to the self-hosted OpenObserve platform to address issues with storage, pricing, and data residency. The move was driven by the need to comply with GDPR and avoid the Cloud Act while providing a more developer-friendly experience with familiar SQL-based queries. The switch allowed seamless integration into their existing Kubernetes infrastructure, improving diagnostic capabilities, particularly with distributed tracing. This transition not only eliminated unpredictable costs but also enhanced operational efficiency with advanced alerting systems and better data control within Europe. The OpenObserve deployment proved to be straightforward, and the support from its product team was prompt and effective, quickly addressing any challenges that arose.
