Monitoring tools are broken. Here's why.
We've been there. You probably have too.
"That'll be $500/month, please"
Enterprise observability platforms think you're Netflix. Spoiler: you're not. Why pay for features you'll never use when you just need to know if your app is alive?
"Setup: 3 days, 7 configs, 12 coffee breaks"
You wanted to monitor your app, not get a PhD in YAML. Most tools need a dedicated team just to configure them. That's not tiny. That's ridiculous.
"Your data isโฆ somewhere?"
Black box platforms that hold your data hostage. Want to export? Pay extra. Want to switch providers? Good luck with that migration.
There's a better way. A tiny way.
Observability that respects your time and wallet
Tiny Owl strips away the enterprise bloat and gives you exactly what you need: clear insights, simple setup, and pricing that won't make your accountant cry.
5 minutes to first insight
Copy. Paste. Done. Add our SDK, ship it, and start seeing data flow in. No YAML wrestling. No config hell. Just monitoring.
Pay for what you use
Start free. Scale affordably. No hidden fees, no sudden bill shocks. Built for bootstrappers by bootstrappers.
100% data ownership
Self-host or use our cloudโyour choice. Export anytime, anywhere, in any format. No vendor lock-in, ever.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

From zero to observability in 3 steps
Seriously, it's this easy. No DevOps team required.
Install the SDK
One npm command and you're set. No extra config files, no agents to run.
npm install @tiny-owl-kit/observability
Create your client
Grab your API key and Project Secret from the dashboard. The SDK handles HMAC signing automatically.
import { TinyOwl } from '@tiny-owl-kit/observability';
const logger = new TinyOwl({
apiKey: process.env.TINYOWL_API_KEY,
projectSecret: process.env.TINYOWL_PROJECT_SECRET,
});Start logging events
Three severity levels. Attach any context you need. Every request is signed with HMAC-SHA256.
// Info โ regular operational events
await logger.info('User signed in', { userId: '123' });
// Warning โ unusual events to watch
await logger.warning('API limit at 95%', { used: 950 });
// Error โ failures that need attention
await logger.error('Payment failed', {
orderId: 'ORD-42',
reason: 'Card declined',
});Ready to get started?
Pricing that makes sense
No surprises. No gotchas. Just honest pricing for real teams.
Who's already hooting with Tiny Owl?
Alex โ Indie SaaS Builder
Ship side projects with confidence
"I run 3 SaaS products solo. Before Tiny Owl, I was flying blindโonly finding bugs when users complained. Now I catch issues before my users do. And at $29/month, it's a no-brainer for any indie stack."
- Automatic error detection
- 5-minute setup per project
- Peace of mind for $29/month
Diana โ CTO at 3-person startup
Scale without breaking the bank
"We tried Datadog. $800/month for our tiny team? Nope. Tiny Owl gives us everything we need for under $50. Our investors love that we're not burning cash on monitoring."
- Team collaboration (3 seats)
- 30-day event retention
- Saves $9K+/year vs. enterprise tools

- Advanced analytics & data export
- Multi-tenant isolation
