CtrlB is a monitoring and log analytics platform for engineering and security teams. Search years worth of logs, metrics, and traces at petabyte scale in under a second, stored in your own cloud. Your engineers investigate through the UI or your AI agents query the same data over MCP.

See what's breaking
Engineering and security teams keep the telemetry they can afford to keep, not the telemetry they need. Data gets sampled, dropped, or tiered into archives that are too slow to query during an incident. When something breaks or an investigation starts, the answer is often in data that is technically retained but practically unreachable.
CtrlB is a unified data lake for logs, metrics, traces, events, and security telemetry. It stores data as open Parquet in your own cloud account and makes all of it searchable, not just the recent window. Engineers investigate through the built-in UI. AI agents query the same data directly over MCP, REST, or SQL, with no per-query metering.
Use CtrlB for application/infrastructure observability, security log investigation, and as the query engine behind your own investigation agents.
Key features:
Data on your object storage, no proprietary format, no vendor lock-in
Schema-less ingestion via OpenTelemetry, Fluent Bit, Vector, or any HTTP source
Built-in UI for search, dashboards, and alerts
CtrlB MCP Server, AI agents can query telemetry directly as a source of truth
Deployment and controls
SaaS, BYOC (runs in your VPC), or fully on-premises
Runs on AWS, GCP, Azure, and Cloudflare
CtrlB uses simple, transparent, usage-based pricing. You pay for what you ingest, with no per-user seats, no per-host agents, no per-query metering, and no charge for the AI agents reading your data. Storage stays in your own object storage at your cloud provider's rates. Start on the free tier with 150 GB/month of ingestion and 14-day retention, no credit card.
Highlights
OpenTelemetry-native platform supporting logs, traces, metrics, alerts, and AI insights
S3 native observability architecture with object storage integrations
Sub-second search performance across petabyte-scale telemetry datasets
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
You pay based on how much telemetry data you send in, measured per gigabyte ingested. Pricing splits into three independent usage dimensions: Logs, Metrics, and Traces. Each is billed at a per-GB rate and includes 30 days of retention. These dimensions are not tiers or bundles. You pay for each data type separately, based on the volume you ingest. Costs scale with the amount of data you send, so higher ingestion across any type raises that portion of your bill. Data stays on object storage you own.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts toward the per-GB charge — is querying my data metered too?
You are billed on the volume of data you ingest, measured per gigabyte for logs, metrics, and traces. Queries and reads are not metered. Agents and clients can search your stored data without adding to the ingestion-based charge.
Which of the three dimensions drives most of my bill?
Logs, Metrics, and Traces are billed independently, each per gigabyte ingested. They add together on one invoice. The dimension you send the most data to drives the largest share. Log-heavy environments see logs dominate; trace-heavy debugging shifts cost toward traces.
Am I charged for storing data beyond 30 days?
Each per-GB rate includes 30 days of retention for that data type. The ingestion charge covers storage during that window. Because data stays on object storage you own, retention beyond 30 days depends on your own storage arrangement rather than the per-GB ingestion charge shown.
