Coroot: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Coroot is an open-source observability and application performance monitoring platform. It uses eBPF to collect metrics, logs, traces and continuous profiles without changes to application code. On top of this it provides predefined dashboards and inspections, SLO-based alerting and AI-assisted root-cause analysis. It is aimed at development and operations teams who want to trace failures and performance problems, and is an alternative to commercial APM services such as Datadog. The Community Edition is installed by the user, for example with Helm or Docker, and uses Prometheus and ClickHouse for storage.

Coroot is developed by Coroot Inc., a US company. The Community Edition is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, and a separate paid Enterprise Edition exists. The documentation describes installation on the organisation's own infrastructure, so telemetry data stays in the organisation's environment and its location is the organisation's own choice. For a European organisation this means the software can run without data being passed to its maker, on its own servers or with a European hosting provider.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Coroot

Coroot is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Coroot hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Coroot is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Coroot together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
