Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) Observability
groundcover runs inside your cloud. Keep every signal private, secure, and compliant while we manage the complexity.
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
groundcover BYOC gives you SaaS simplicity with local control. It’s not just a place to store telemetry; it’s a production-grade observability backend deployed inside your infrastructure.
5-Minute Onboarding
Grant a scoped IAM role (AWS, GCP, or Azure). We automate the rest so there is 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 a separated sub account, 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 the groundcover backed in your cloud while accessing everything through our UI without compromising control or security.
Production-Grade Deployment
A resilient observability data plane with automated backups, high availability, and performance tuning that are separated from workloads to ensure monitoring stays up even during incidents.
Data Platform-grade architecture
Once migrated, 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.
Smart ingestion
Real-time aggregation, compression, and cardinality management.
Data plane in your cloud
Fully queryable, PromQL-compatible, with 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.
Enterprise compliance
Full control over data residency, retention, and policies.
Full-fidelity telemetry
All logs, metrics, traces, and events withno sampling, no blind spots.
Performance
at scale
Queries over millions of spans or billions of logs in seconds.
All-in-One platform
Logs, metrics, traces, and events included withno hidden tiers or add-on costs.
