What does HackerNews think of signoz?

There is also SigNoz [0] solving the same problem with a similar stack (OpenTelemetry and Clickhouse)

Not sure if OP is from Dylibso, but would love to see telemetry data emitted in OpenTelemetry format as well so different tools (including open source ones) which support Otel format can also consume this data.

I am one of the maintainers at SigNoz [1], an otel native open source observability platform and would love to enable our users to see telemetry data from WASM

Folks on this thread might want to check out SigNoz (https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz). It's an open source alternative to Datadog.

I am one of the maintainers at SigNoz. We have come across many more horror stories around Datadog billing while interacting with our users.

We recently did a deep dive on pricing, and found some interesting insights on how it is priced compared to other products.

Datadog's billing has two key issues:

- Very complex SKU based pricing which makes it impossible to predict how much it would cost

- Custom metrics billing ($0.05 per custom metric) - we found that custom metrics can account for up to 52% of the total billing which just does not make sense

We are building SigNoz (https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz) - an open source alternative to DataDog. We are natively based on opentelemetry and see lots of our users very interested in that.

As mentioned in some other places in the thread, DataDog pricing is very unpredictable and high - and I think more open standards based solutions are the way forward which provides users more predictability and flexibility

An OpenSource alternative to DataDog built on ClickHouse database which is also native to OpenTelemetry https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz

SigNoz | Bangalore, India | Remote | YC W21

SigNoz is an open source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic. We help developers monitor their applications and troubleshoot any problem.

We have got lots of interest from the dev community with 5000+ stars in less than 8 months of launching the project. Here's our Github repo ( https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz )

We are backed by prominent angels & VCs including Y Combinator.

We are looking to hire

- senior golang engineer (3+ yrs experience)

- devops engineers (1+ yrs experience)

Here's the company page with open roles - https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/signoz

We have recently been talking to a few companies in HealthCare and Fintech, and it seems they have strong needs for data to remain on-premise. One of such verticals in the company is around monitoring, logs and traces. They may contain personal information and these companies want to keep it under their own control. Hence, they can't send data to SaaS vendors due to regulations around data sovereignty.

They cannot use DataDog, NewRelic and onPrem Dynatrace & AppDynamics are closed source. A recent good alternatives are Prometheus for Metrics, Jaeger/Zipkin for distributed tracing and Loki for logs. First of all setting up all these take months and running a scaled version of these OSS is pretty complex.

We are building SigNoz (https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz) to address these above problems. SigNoz is an open source alternative to DataDog. SigNoz has Kafka and Apache Druid, both of them are industry tested highly scalable components. Druid powers analytical capabilities on tracing data which is missed in both Jaeger and Zipkin.

Below are the motivations for building the project:

- Out-of-box features that other OSS miss. Get started in minutes and not months

- Seamless integration of Metrics and Traces in a single dashboard

- SaaS vendors charge an insane amount to provide Application Monitoring. They often surprise you with huge month end bills without any transparency of data sent to them

- Data privacy and compliance demands data to not leave the network boundary

- Highly scalable architecture

- No more magic happening in agents installed in your infra. You take control of sampling, uptime, configuration

- Build modules over SigNoz to extend business specific capabilities

- Full support for OpenTelemetry, which is a vendor neutral instrumentation framework

We would love to know your thoughts on SigNoz
