Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) Observability
groundcover runs inside your cloud, so every signal stays private and secure with no compromise on data, control, or cost. Fully managed, and yours to deploy in minutes.
Observability without the trade-offs
Traditional vendors force trade-offs: sampled data, egress fees, and unpredictable bills. groundcover flips the model: your full observability data plane runs in your cloud account, fully managed by us, fully controlled by you.
Observability with groundcover’s BYOC architecture
5-Minute Onboarding
Grant a scoped IAM role (AWS, GCP, or Azure). We automate the rest — no manual setup, no complex pipelines.
Isolation & Resilience
The data plane runs separately from your workloads, maintaining uptime and reliability even during production incidents. Your monitoring remains accurate and available under all circumstances.
Cloud-Optimized & Cost-Efficient
Transparent infrastructure costs, economical long-term retention, and efficient data transfer let you leverage reserved instances and storage offloads. Observability is secure, resilient, and cost-efficient.
Security, Transparency & Control
All actions are automated, scoped with least-privilege IAM roles, and fully visible. groundcover never has direct access to your environment, so you maintain full control over your observability deployment.
Local data, SaaS experience
Keep your logs, metrics, events, and traces in your cloud while accessing everything through the groundcover UI, without compromising control or security.
Production-Grade Deployment
A resilient observability data plane with automated backups, high availability, and performance tuning — separated from workloads to ensure monitoring stays up even during incidents.
Data Platform-grade architecture
Once deployed, your observability becomes:
Cardinality control & fault tolerance
Smart aggregation and replication keep queries fast and data safe.
High-performance ingestion
Handles gigabytes per second with sub-second query latency.
Top-tier compression & storage
Hot & cold tiers reduce storage costs without sacrificing speed or queryability.
Automated scaling
Scales up during spikes and down during quiet periods.
How BYOC works
Sensors at the source
eBPF sensors capture signals on Kubernetes and Linux hosts without code changes. They run out-of-band in a separate namespace, so there’s no impact on your workloads.
Smart ingestion
Real-time aggregation, compression, and cardinality management.
Data plane in your cloud
Fully queryable across logs, metrics, traces, and events.
Unified experience
Same modern UI and APIs while all your data stays under your control.
Key Benefits
Predictable costs
Pay per host, not per GB.
Compression + cold storage = lower TCO.
Full-fidelity telemetry
All logs, metrics, traces, and events with
no sampling, no blind spots.
Performance at scale
Queries over millions
of spans
or billions of logs in seconds.
Enterprise compliance
Full control over data residency,
retention, and policies.
All-in-One platform
Logs, metrics, traces, and events included
with no hidden tiers or add-on costs.
