In their own words
CDviz
CDviz is an open-source platform for collecting, storing and visualizing software delivery events in the CDEvents standard. Its Collector gathers events from sources such as GitHub, GitLab, ArgoCD, Kubernetes, custom webhooks and HTTP polling, then normalizes them. Grafana dashboards cover DORA metrics, deployment tracking, incidents and artifact timelines. Events are stored in PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB; ClickHouse can serve as a Collector sink, but the dashboards currently require PostgreSQL. Teams can send event streams into downstream automation through webhooks, Kafka, NATS or SSE. The Collector, schemas, Grafana components and transformers are Apache 2.0 licensed and can be self-hosted at no charge. CDviz Cloud receives pipeline event metadata from customer-configured GitHub or GitLab webhooks, without reading source code or requiring write access. Cloud data is isolated by organization, and optional history import covers up to 30 days using a customer-created, scoped read-only token. Community is free forever; Cloud costs €20 a month per organization, excluding VAT, and Pro costs €200 a month per organization, excluding VAT.
Middleware
Middleware is a hybrid observability platform for detecting and resolving issues across infrastructure, application performance, and real-user monitoring. Its listed coverage includes infrastructure monitoring, logs, metrics, distributed tracing, database monitoring, synthetic monitoring, browser testing, and LLM observability. The AI SRE Agent and OpsAI capabilities include root cause analysis, automatic issue detection, faster issue solving, and automatic PR generation. The Free Forever plan costs nothing and includes up to 100GB of data, 1k RUM sessions, 20k synthetic checks, 10 browser test runs, and 2 million OpsAI tokens, with 14-day retention and community support. Pay As You Go costs $0.30 a month, billed according to use, with default 30-day retention. Middleware lists 450+ integrations and a Public API. It runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and API. The company says it encrypts customer data in transit and at rest using TLS 1.2+ and AES-256.
