No account, nothing to install. The playground opens a workspace that
already has a fortnight of telemetry in it. It is read-only and the data is
fictional — a demonstration estate, not anyone’s production system.
Choose an estate
The three are deliberately different systems, not three skins on one dataset. They run different services, in different namespaces, on different clusters, in different languages, and each has a different thing going wrong in a different place. Pick the one that looks most like yours.E-commerce storefront
A retail estate under Black Friday load — 8 services across four namespaces,
with a payment dependency that is quietly failing and dragging checkout down
with it. The one to open if you want to watch an incident be traced to its
root cause.
SaaS platform
A multi-tenant B2B platform on a weekday rhythm — 7 services, an ingestion
pipeline building a backlog overnight, and objectives to run it against.
The one to open if you operate a platform other teams build on.
Quickstart tour
Two services and a database — 3 services in one namespace, the smallest
estate that still lights up every page. The one to open if you want the
shape of the product rather than a scenario.
Those links open the picker with that estate already selected. If a link is
ever out of date, the picker says so and shows you what it does have — it
will not quietly open a different demo than the one you asked for.
What is actually in there
Every estate carries the same signal types, because they all come from one generator:
The two larger estates also carry LLM request telemetry, so LLM
observability has something in it; the quickstart tour deliberately does not.
Each card in the picker lists what that estate demonstrates, and the list is
derived from the data that was actually seeded rather than written by hand — so
a section it does not name is a section that estate genuinely has nothing in.
Then send your own data
The playground is not a dead end. Send your own data inside it creates an ingest key and moves you into a private workspace of your own, so your telemetry never lands in the shared demo. From there the quickstart applies unchanged.Open the playground
