Overview

What is Axiom?

Trusted by 30,000+ organizations, from high-growth startups to global enterprises.

Components#

Axiom consists of two purpose-built data stores supported by a unified console experience:

EventDB#

Robust, cost-effective, and scalable datastore specifically optimized for timestamped event data. Built from the ground up to handle the vast volumes and high velocity of event ingestion, EventDB ensures:

  • Scalable data loading: Events are ingested seamlessly without complex middleware, scaling linearly with no single points of failure.
  • Extreme compression: Tuned storage format compresses data 25-50x, significantly reducing storage costs and ensuring data remains queryable at any time.
  • Serverless querying: Axiom spins up ephemeral, serverless runtimes on-demand to execute queries efficiently, minimizing idle compute resources and costs.

MetricsDB#

Dedicated metrics datastore engineered specifically for high-cardinality time-series data. Unlike traditional metrics solutions that penalize you for dimensional complexity, MetricsDB embraces high-cardinality tags as a design principle:

  • High-cardinality native: Store metrics with high-cardinality dimensional tags without performance degradation or cost penalties.
  • Optimized storage: Purpose-built storage format designed for time-series workloads delivers efficient compression and fast aggregations across millions of unique tag combinations.
  • Thoughtful constraints: Design choices prioritize the most common metrics use cases while maintaining exceptional performance.

Console#

Intuitive web app built for exploration, visualization, and monitoring of your data.

  • Real-time exploration: Effortlessly query and visualize data streams in real-time, providing instant clarity on operational and business conditions.
  • Dynamic visualizations: Generate insightful visualizations, from straightforward counts to sophisticated aggregations, tailored specifically to your needs.
  • Robust monitoring: Set up threshold-based and anomaly driven alerts, ensuring proactive visibility into potential issues.

Why choose Axiom?#

  • Cost-efficiency: Axiom dramatically lowers data ingestion and storage costs compared to traditional observability and logging solutions.
  • Flexible insights: Real-time query capabilities and an increasingly intelligent UI help pinpoint issues and opportunities without sampling.
  • One platform, many use cases: Use Axiom for observability (logs, metrics, traces), LLM observability, product analytics, and any other machine data workload.
