ConvOps vs Coroot
eBPF auto-discovery observability vs. CloudWatch alarm diagnosis
Coroot is an open-source observability platform that uses eBPF to automatically map service dependencies, health, and RED metrics without manual instrumentation. It's free to self-host — but it requires running agents on every node, doesn't integrate with CloudWatch, and has no AI root cause analysis or mobile delivery.
Why teams choose ConvOps over Coroot
No self-hosted stack to maintain
Coroot is free to use but not free to run — production deployments need Coroot, Prometheus, and ClickHouse, all persistent services requiring capacity, backups, and upgrades. ConvOps is fully managed with no infrastructure to operate.
Works with Lambda and ECS Fargate
Coroot's eBPF agent must run on every node in your cluster. For Lambda and ECS Fargate — serverless workloads with no persistent nodes — this isn't possible. ConvOps reads CloudWatch natively and works across Lambda, ECS Fargate, RDS, DynamoDB, and SQS with zero agent deployment.
AI diagnosis delivered to your phone
Coroot's health scoring and service maps live in a web dashboard. ConvOps sends a plain-English root cause explanation to WhatsApp or Slack the moment a CloudWatch alarm fires — with the option to apply a fix by replying to the message.
Feature comparison
| Feature | ConvOps | Coroot |
|---|---|---|
| AI root cause analysis (plain English) | Health scoring and anomaly detection — not plain-English AI root cause explanation | |
| WhatsApp delivery | ||
| Slack delivery | Via community plugin — not built-in | |
| CloudWatch-native (no agent needed) | Requires eBPF agent on every node — incompatible with Lambda, ECS Fargate, or serverless | |
| Reply to fix (scale / restart / rollback) | ||
| Self-serve setup (no sales call) | Yes — but requires self-hosting Coroot + Prometheus + ClickHouse | |
| Flat-rate pricing (not per-seat) | Community Edition is free; Cloud/Enterprise pricing not public | |
| Public pricing | Community Edition only — Cloud and Enterprise require sales contact |
Pricing
Coroot
Open-source — free to self-host
Community Edition is open-source and self-hosted at no cost. Self-hosting requires running Coroot, Prometheus, and ClickHouse on your own infrastructure. Coroot Cloud and Enterprise pricing require contacting sales.
Bottom line
Coroot is a technically impressive open-source observability tool for teams comfortable operating Prometheus, ClickHouse, and eBPF agents in production. It's a compelling option if you want service topology visibility at no software licensing cost and have the ops bandwidth to run the stack. For AWS-focused teams on Lambda, ECS Fargate, or RDS, ConvOps works immediately — no agents, no self-hosted infrastructure — and delivers AI diagnosis to WhatsApp or Slack the moment an alarm fires.
Where Coroot wins
Service topology and dependency mapping — Coroot's eBPF-based auto-discovery builds accurate service maps with latency, error rate, and throughput automatically. ConvOps has no equivalent service topology or traffic flow visualization.
From CloudWatch alarm to fix — in under 2 minutes.
No agents. No sales call. No per-seat pricing.
