InfraWatch exists because engineering teams deserve infrastructure visibility without the six-figure price tag.
Modern infrastructure monitoring has a problem. The tools that work well cost a fortune. Datadog, New Relic, and Splunk charge per host, per GB, per user -- and the bills add up fast. A mid-size team running a few dozen EC2 instances, an EKS cluster, and a handful of RDS databases can easily spend $50,000 to $100,000 a year on observability alone.
The open-source alternatives exist, but they require stitching together Prometheus, Grafana, AlertManager, and a dozen exporters -- each with its own configuration language, deployment model, and failure modes. What should take minutes takes weeks.
InfraWatch was built to solve this. A single platform that gives you cloud monitoring, full-stack observability, and secure JIT access management -- starting with AWS, designed for any cloud. Deploy it with Docker Compose in five minutes. No per-host pricing. No vendor lock-in. No complexity tax.
To make infrastructure monitoring accessible to every engineering team, regardless of size or budget. We believe that visibility into your own systems is a right, not a luxury.
InfraWatch is open-source under the AGPL v3 license. The core platform -- monitoring, JIT access, RBAC, MFA, dashboards, and the plugin system -- is free and always will be.
We believe open-source is not just a distribution model. It is a commitment to transparency, auditability, and community ownership. You can read every line of code, audit the security model, and fork the project if our direction ever diverges from your needs.
The commercial edition adds enterprise features like advanced analytics, consolidated billing, and priority support. But the core monitoring experience is the same for everyone.
These principles guide every decision we make -- from architecture choices to community interactions.
Our code is open, our roadmap is public, and our decisions are documented. No black boxes, no hidden agendas.
Monitoring should not require a PhD. InfraWatch is designed to be deployed in minutes and understood at a glance.
We build with our users, not just for them. Feature requests, bug reports, and pull requests all shape what InfraWatch becomes.
Security is not a feature -- it is the foundation. JIT access, MFA, RBAC, and encrypted credentials are built in from day one.
We believe the best software is built in the open. Our development process is transparent: you can follow our roadmap, watch pull requests, and participate in design discussions on GitHub.
Every feature starts as a public issue. Community feedback shapes priorities. Release notes document what changed and why. This is not a marketing strategy -- it is how we work.
If you are tired of proprietary monitoring tools that treat you like a credit card number, InfraWatch is for you. Join us on GitHub, try the platform, file issues, submit PRs, and help us build something that belongs to everyone.
