🚀 SQLite OpenTelemetry Collector v0.8.0 - First Release!

⚠️ This is the very first release of SQLite OpenTelemetry Collector - a lightweight, single-binary OpenTelemetry collector with embedded SQLite storage.

🎯 What is SQLite OpenTelemetry Collector?

A single-binary OpenTelemetry collector that stores traces, metrics, and logs directly in SQLite. Perfect for:

  • 🌐 Edge Computing: Collect telemetry at edge locations with intermittent connectivity
  • 💻 Development: Local telemetry collection without complex infrastructure
  • 🔧 Embedded Systems: Minimal resource footprint for IoT and constrained environments
  • 🏢 On-Premises: Keep sensitive telemetry data within your infrastructure

✨ Key Features

  • 📦 Single Binary: No external dependencies - just download and run
  • 🗄️ Embedded SQLite: No database setup required
  • 📊 Full OTLP Support: Accepts traces, metrics, and logs via OTLP/HTTP
  • 🚀 Lightweight: ~10MB binary, <128MB memory usage
  • 🔒 Secure: Runs as non-root with systemd hardening
  • 🔄 Log Rotation: Built-in rotation with compression and retention policies
