Axiom

Log and event data platform

Free tier + paidMonitoring & error trackingaxiom.co

What it is

A serverless log and event store built on object storage and queried with the APL language, with dashboards, monitors and native OpenTelemetry ingest. The permanently free Personal plan allows 500GB of ingest per month, which is enormous for a solo project. Cloud-only, no self-hosted build.

Why it earns a slot

500GB a month free is more log volume than a side project will ever generate, and the Vercel and Cloudflare integrations mean you can ship logs without writing a shipper.

Know before you commit

Free retention is fixed at 30 days and query compute is capped at 10 GB-hours per month, so busy dashboards hit that ceiling long before ingest becomes the constraint. No self-hosting option exists.
