Which to pick
- Pick Parseable when

- You want cheaper S3-compatible cloud storage spread across many independent nodes, or want to earn by running a storage node.
Side by side
An observability platform that ingests logs, metrics, traces and events, including OpenTelemetry, stores them compressed in object storage, and provides SQL queries and dashboards.
The software behind the Storj network, which encrypts files, splits them into pieces and stores them on independent operators' nodes, exposed through an S3-compatible API.
It is AGPL-licensed with features split between the open-source and paid editions, and it is younger than Loki or the ELK stack.
Most users consume the hosted service rather than this code, and the satellite components that coordinate the network are run by Storj itself.
