Axiom

Axiom is a platform for event data and observability. It stores logs, traces and metrics at any scale, and queries them in seconds.

You send it OpenTelemetry and query it with APL. Monitors alert you when something crosses a line, and dashboards show what’s happening.

A quick example

A Dataset holds one kind of telemetry, and exposes its OTLP endpoint:

const traces = yield* Axiom.Dataset("traces", { name: "app-traces", kind: "otel:traces:v1" });
const logs = yield* Axiom.Dataset("logs", { name: "app-logs", kind: "otel:logs:v1" });

An ApiToken gives your runtime ingest access to one dataset, and nothing else:

const ingest = yield* Axiom.ApiToken("ingest", {
  name: "prod-ingest",
  datasetCapabilities: {
    "app-traces": { ingest: ["create"] },
  },
});

A Monitor runs an APL query on a schedule and alerts through a Notifier:

const slack = yield* Axiom.Notifier("ops-slack", {
  name: "ops-channel",
  properties: {
    slack: { slackUrl: yield* Config.String("SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL") },
  },
});

yield* Axiom.Monitor("panics", {
  name: "Service panic",
  type: "MatchEvent",
  aplQuery: `['app-logs'] | where message contains "panic:"`,
  intervalMinutes: 1,
  rangeMinutes: 1,
  notifierIds: [slack.id],
});

Point a Worker or Lambda’s OpenTelemetry exporter at the dataset endpoints, and Effect’s traces and logs flow into Axiom with no code changes. See Observability.

Where to start

Want to build? Connect your organization in Setup, then Observability with Axiom takes a Worker from no telemetry to a monitor that pages you.
