About Better Stack is an eBPF-based, AI SRE observability tool that helps you ship better software, faster. Schedule on-call rotations, receive actionable alerts, and resolve incidents with ease. Better Stack brings together incident management, uptime monitoring, status pages, log management, and infrastructure monitoring – all in one place. Built for speed and scale, it combines multiple monitoring and alerting workflows into a single, powerful interface that boosts visibility and slashes response times. Key features include an OpenTelemetry-native Kubernetes collector powered by eBPF, real-time alerting, and collaborative dashboards. Under the hood, Better Stack runs on ClickHouse, enabling lightning-fast queries and scalable ingestion across high-cardinality datasets. You can visualize your entire stack, turn all your logs into structured data, and query everything with SQL – as if it were a single database. Seamlessly integrates into your workflow with 100+ integrations.	About ClickHouse is a fast open-source OLAP database management system. It is column-oriented and allows to generate analytical reports using SQL queries in real-time. ClickHouse's performance exceeds comparable column-oriented database management systems currently available on the market. It processes hundreds of millions to more than a billion rows and tens of gigabytes of data per single server per second. ClickHouse uses all available hardware to its full potential to process each query as fast as possible. Peak processing performance for a single query stands at more than 2 terabytes per second (after decompression, only used columns). In distributed setup reads are automatically balanced among healthy replicas to avoid increasing latency. ClickHouse supports multi-master asynchronous replication and can be deployed across multiple datacenters. All nodes are equal, which allows avoiding having single points of failure.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Able to monitor my clients websites by keyword, hosting and different ways. Able to create status reports. Receive sms and phone call is a site goes down. Great UI. Uptime is a reliable and complex solution for us. Great plus are the advanced escalation policies and heartbeats, checking if our background jobs get done. Simple setup. Highly reliable (didn't miss a thing so far). Friendly UI, intuitive workflow. Heartbeats for CRON jobs are a great touch. Highly customizable call scheduling. Loads of integrations. Helpful and friendly support. Easy to setup and use. Intuitive design and UX. Free tier is really good for being free. Checks every 3 minutes. Monitors for prescheduled tasks. Very reliable. Fast and reliable incident reporting. Error screenshots and logs. Ping checks every 30 seconds. Heartbeats checking cronjobs. Customizable status pages on custom subdomains. Cons Sometimes I get notifications saying a site is down but it's not. It's a bit confusing to set up. I don't know what's happening when it gives me error code for some reason but website has not gone down. I didn't really notice any big issues with the service's functionality. We'd appreciate Dark Mode, Telegram integration and some of the advanced features could be available on their lower-tier plans. Status pages lack a few features, but it seems some related updates are coming soon. I'm a student and payed plans are out of my reach, but no big problem with free tier. I'd welcome some of the advanced features in the freelancer plan. Otherwise, not much to complain about.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros ClickHouse is really really fast. I can say that it is THE fastest I've came across. It has lots of native integration options S3, Kafka, SQLite, PostgreSQL and so on. Its SQL capabilities are top notch. And it is 100% free! Cons - Updates and deletes are eventual. - Hard to setup a cluster. - Does not have ACID.
