- Spikelog allows users to log a number and get a chart instantly with minimal setup.
- Users can sign in, create a project, and POST a number to generate a chart automatically.
- Spikelog is designed for simplicity, requiring only an API key and an HTTP request to start tracking metrics.
- It eliminates the complexity of full observability stacks, which often require configuring exporters, learning query languages, and building dashboards.
- Spikelog features include automatic chart generation, no setup beyond an API key, and the ability to send numbers directly without telemetry.
- The platform is AI-native, allowing users to add metrics with a single AI prompt in tools like Cursor, Copilot, or Claude.
- Spikelog is free to use, offering 10 charts with 1,000 points each, with old data expiring automatically.
- It is built for side projects, MVPs, and small production systems, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use.
- Future features include simple threshold alerts.
