Product Description

Axiom is a reinvented observability platform offering petabyte-scale data ingestion, over 95% compression rate, and serverless query capabilities. Its core philosophy is "All observability data, without worrying about costs." Axiom uses coordination-free containers for ingestion, stores all data in object storage like S3, and executes queries on-demand via serverless functions, charging only for the milliseconds actually used. The platform natively supports OpenTelemetry tracing.

Core Features/Characteristics

  • Petabyte-scale Ingestion: Massive data ingestion capacity, no sampling
  • 95%+ Compression: Extremely high data compression rate, reducing storage costs
  • Serverless Queries: On-demand query execution, billed by the millisecond
  • Schema-less Ingestion: Flexible schema-less data ingestion, no predefined structure required
  • OpenTelemetry Native: Native support for OTel tracing, logs and traces on the same dashboard
  • Object Storage Backend: S3 and other object storage, extremely low cost
  • Real-time Dashboards: Unified visualization of logs and traces
  • Serverless Framework Integration: Deep integration with Serverless Framework

Relationship with OpenClaw Ecosystem

Axiom provides a highly cost-effective log analysis solution for the OpenClaw ecosystem. Its 500GB/month free tier is sufficient for most OpenClaw deployments. The serverless architecture means OpenClaw teams do not need to maintain log infrastructure. Petabyte-scale ingestion ensures that even if AI agents generate massive logs, they can be handled. Native OpenTelemetry support allows seamless integration with OpenClaw's OTel instrumentation, enabling logs and trace data to be viewed on the same dashboard.
