Get a 14-day free trial of the Observe by Snowflake platform that gives you full access to its unified observability features, including logs, metrics, and traces, without requiring a credit card. Here's how the trial works: * Use your email or Google account to sign up and get an instance provisioned for you instantly. * Bring your own data using OpenTelemetry to get a feel for the platform. * While full access is provided, there is a generous ceiling on the number of Observe by Snowflake Compute Credits you can use during the 2-week period. See [Credit Manager](https://docs.observeinc.com/docs/credit-manager) to learn more about Observe by Snowflake Compute Credits. * After 14 days, the trial ends. Schedule a meeting with the Observe by Snowflake account team to discuss pricing. If you choose not to upgrade, the trial instance is disabled and deleted, along with all of your data. # Get the free trial Perform the following steps to get the free trial: 1.
