Deployment

Run it where your data already lives

PeachTrace is self-hosted on infrastructure you control — or, if you'd rather not run it yourself, Peach State Technologies can host it for you.

Two ways to run PeachTrace

Self-hosted

Install PeachTrace on Windows or Linux, on hardware you already control. Under the hood it stores everything in SQL Server 2025 or Azure SQL — no proprietary database to learn. Telemetry never leaves infrastructure you already control.

  • Bring your own SQL Server 2025 or Azure SQL instance
  • Deploy on Windows Server or any modern Linux distribution
  • License-key activation — no phone-home required for your telemetry data
  • You own retention, backups, and access control

Managed by Peach State Technologies

Prefer not to operate it yourself? Peach State Technologies can host and manage your PeachTrace instance, without you having to provision or patch anything.

  • No infrastructure to provision or maintain
  • Same OTLP endpoints, same dashboard, same data model
  • A good fit for teams who'd rather not run the database themselves

Built for scale

PeachTrace’s storage engine is built directly on the database’s own capabilities, not layered on top of them:

  • Clustered columnstore indexes on the metrics, logs, and traces tables for compression and fast analytic scans over large time ranges.
  • Time-based partitioning — weekly partitions for traces, monthly for logs and metrics — so queries only ever touch the partitions they need.
  • Configurable retention, applied as cheap partition-switch-and-truncate operations rather than row-by-row deletes.
  • Background rowgroup compression, keeping recently-ingested data fully compressed without blocking ingestion.

The result: your telemetry store scales the way any well-tuned database workload scales — because that’s exactly what it is.

What you need

  • Services instrumented with any OpenTelemetry SDK, exporting via OTLP (gRPC or HTTP)
  • SQL Server 2025 or Azure SQL (for self-hosted installs)
  • Windows Server or Linux to run the PeachTrace collector and web application
