Research group validating open source at scale with real workloads

About NOCHAOS

NOCHAOS was founded in 2025 with the goal of bringing open source into companies in a safe, practical, and sustainable way. We apply scientific methodology and real workload testing to evaluate whether open source technologies are truly viable in a client’s environment, taking into account on-premise, cloud, and hybrid architectures. Our work goes beyond checking if something "works"; we analyze performance, security, licensing, operational costs, financial impact, update processes, maintenance, and integration with the rest of the environment. Part of our approach aligns with the CNCF philosophy of adopting and structuring modern open source technologies, but we go further by testing these solutions with real workloads and building a fully customized case for each client. We operate as a multidisciplinary team delivering complete, production-ready projects that help companies reduce dependence on expensive licenses and tools by using well-designed, tested, and sustainable open source solutions, not proofs of concept but systems validated for real-world use.

Main Competencies

Observability

Observability should be inexpensive and purposeful. While countless open-source tools exist, it's easy to drown in excessive telemetry data. The key is knowing what you actually need: sending only essential, business-critical data and building intelligence around it. Focus on metrics aligned with SLAs, operational costs, and technical requirements, continuously adapting to support both incident prevention and response across your entire operation.

DevOps & CI/CD

We design CI/CD pipelines that deliver software fast, cost-effectively, safely, and with easy rollback capabilities. Our approach optimizes for execution time and reliability through comprehensive testing, applies 12-factor principles for dynamic configuration across the organization, and leverages proven open-source tools to create pipelines aligned with production-tested processes.

Our Projects

oteldebug

oteldebug.nochaos.io — 100% free SaaS that lets you forward your telemetry data in the OpenTelemetry OTLP format and view it in structured JSON to validate exactly what you are sending.

quickkind

quickkind — Preconfigured Kubernetes sandbox environments where developers can test their applications in production-like conditions with Kafka, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis.

Open Observability

Evaluates and integrates modern, battle-tested open-source observability tools to build a high-throughput platform with practical integration patterns and architectural guidance.

Telemetry Pipeline

Real-time telemetry data processing using Apache Flink for sensitive data removal, ML-based anomaly detection, metric aggregation, and advanced filtering at scale.

NL Query Engine

Natural language interface for telemetry data analysis, enabling users to query system health, performance, and behavior through conversational interactions instead of complex queries.

Cost Analyzer

Open-source tool that maps telemetry volume to infrastructure cost, identifying wasteful metrics, redundant logs, and over-instrumented traces to optimize observability spend.

Research

Processing Telemetry Data Using Apache Flink

This research explores using Apache Flink as a powerful alternative to overloaded OpenTelemetry processors for telemetry data processing. The project demonstrates real-time processing at scale, including sensitive data removal, ML-based anomaly detection, metric aggregation, advanced filtering, and analytics, offloading complex processing logic from OpenTelemetry collectors to a dedicated streaming platform built for high-throughput data transformation..

Natural Language Interface for Telemetry Data Analysis

This research explores building a natural language interface for telemetry data analysis, enabling users to query their systems and applications through conversational interactions. Instead of writing complex queries or navigating dashboards, users can ask questions in plain language about system health, performance, and behavior, receiving intelligent reports generated directly from telemetry data. This approach democratizes observability insights across technical and non-technical teams.
