I also think OTel SDKs are a tad bit too prescriptive, but at the same time I can't envision what a better version would look like.

The core of logs and spans are just wide events with some inter-connections, those SDKs and OTel docs make them less obvious.

I did consider tmducken in the beginning.

Hmmm, how could this post be possibly a good thing for Anthropic?

Show HN: OpenTelemetry x DuckDB(Ducklake), SQLite, Clojure

mnming — Sun, 10 May 2026 13:06:38 +0000

O11yLite is a free, open-source OpenTelemetry backend built on DuckDB/Ducklake, SQLite, Clojure.

I started this as a project to build an observability stack for my homelab. After years of using the established OSS tools, they felt fragmented, had a steep learning curve, and often inflexible. I wanted to build a Honeycomb-like experience that unifies logs, metrics, and traces in a single tool that can be as easy to deploy as possible and free.

Specifically, I wanted it to - work well with the wide events pattern. - have sufficiently high throughput on a single host. - treat both human and agent interfaces as first-class citizens.

I initially planned to build on ClickHouse, but switched to DuckDB to keep distribution dead simple. I was also inspired by Motherduck's [Perf is not enough](https://motherduck.com/blog/perf-is-not-enough/) post. When DuckLake came out around the same time last year, it felt like the right foundation had just arrived. How good would it be if your OpenTelemetry backend just operate on a directory of Parquet files? So here it is: a small, open-source tool in an era where LLMs dominate the headlines. Hope some people find it useful.

Isn't this a losing battle? Since the goal post keeps moving as new LLM comes out each month.

I feel any LLM discussion without mentioning concrete tooling choices are unproductive. Toolings are evolving so fast, many statements that were accurate two months ago are simply wrong today.

I wonder if it's the best outcome? The contributor doesn't seem to have a bad intention, could his energy be redirected more constructively? E.g. encouraging him to split up the PR, make a design proposal etc.

With pocket sunsetting, I have been searching for alternatives lately. After a few rounds of search, I can't convince myself to use specialized bookmarks tool over Notion / Obsidian. I wonder what other people feel?
