OpenWit: Key Features

Explore the architecture that sets OpenWit apart , a next-generation database engine built for speed, scalability, and reliability. Every layer is engineered to meet the data demands of modern telemetry and analytics workloads.

Unified Telemetry, Simplified

OpenWit brings logs, metrics, and traces together in one database with no separate tools or silos. Query everything with simple, familiar SQL to understand your systems faster and easier.

Scales as You Grow

Run OpenWit the way you need, start simple on a single node, then scale seamlessly into a distributed cluster as your data grows. No redesigns, no migrations , just one database that adapts to your scale.

Engineered for Concurrency

Built in Rust with an actor-based concurrency model, OpenWit processes massive workloads in parallel without slowing down. Its non-blocking design keeps performance smooth and responsive, even under heavy load.

Clean Data, Reliable Insights

OpenWit enforces a clear schema at ingestion, keeping your telemetry structured and consistent from the start.Every log, metric, and trace follows defined rules ensuring clean data, reliable queries, and accurate results.

Blazing Fast Ingest

OpenWit ingests massive volumes of telemetry data with high-speed batching and zero-copy processing.A dual write-ahead log (WAL) ensures every event is safely stored before acknowledgment, while built-in deduplication keeps performance smooth and efficient.

Lightning-Fast Queries

OpenWit delivers sub-second query responses, even on massive datasets.Smart indexes (bitmap, bloom filters, full text via Tantivy) and a multi-tier cache in memory and disk skip irrelevant data, so your searches and analytics return results almost instantly.

Our Path to Innovation

We are continuously working to enhance OpenWit and provide our users with the best observability experience. Here's a glimpse of what's on our horizon.
