Pharlux by Veltara Works
Coming soon · Dual-license AGPL-3.0 + commercialReplace your LGTM stack with a single binary.
Unified OpenTelemetry-native observability for small teams. One binary. One config file. One systemd unit. No Docker, no Kafka, no Postgres, no ClickHouse.
What it is
Pharlux is a single statically-linked Rust binary that ingests OpenTelemetry metrics and logs (traces in V1.1), stores them in per-signal Parquet files with a custom write-ahead log, and serves interactive SQL queries through embedded Apache DataFusion. The whole system runs comfortably on an 8 GB VPS.
Who it is for
- Teams running Grafana + Prometheus + Loki who are tired of operating five moving parts to observe three services.
- Small engineering teams running between one and ten services on a single VPS.
- Operators who value reproducible deployments and simple failure modes over horizontally scalable complexity.
Licensing
Pharlux is dual-licensed. The Community edition is free and self-hosted under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. Commercial licenses are available for teams that cannot accept AGPL terms or need enterprise features.
