What does HackerNews think of signoz?
SigNoz is an open-source APM. It helps developers monitor their applications & troubleshoot problems, an open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. 🔥 🖥. 👉 Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool
One of the reasons many people use SigNoz is to avoid the vendor lock-in which comes with adding proprietary SDKs of closed source products like DataDog and New Relic in their code.
If anyone is starting their observability journey today, I think OpenTelemetry is a very good place to start. You can instrument with Otel SDKs and chose a visualization layer/backend which suits your needs best

Do also check out SigNoz [1] We are working on a similar problem statement ;)
Has all the three key signals like Metrics, Traces & logs in a single pane and it is much more cost effective compared to Datadog/NewRelic. And if you want, you can just host it your self as it is open source (https://github.com/signoz/signoz)
(PS: I am one of the maintainers)
we are looking into it! :)
We are not specifically focused on web app monitoring, but you should be able to monitor web app easily, esp. if you want to also monitor backend services and have frontend in JS
And, yeah - we have all the docs for self hosting - https://signoz.io/docs/install/
Docs for Angular apps - https://signoz.io/docs/tutorial/instrumenting-angular-fronte...
I agree it was a bit rapidly evolving in early days, but now its much more mature.

Few months ago, we shared launch of support of Logs management in SigNoz. We received lots of amazing feedback from the community here. [1] Thanks for that!
Last few months, we have been busy comparing performance of SigNoz’s logs solution with currently popular open source solutions like ELK stack and Loki. Excited to share with the community what we have found.
When we were trying to do benchmark for our logs product, we were not able to find many examples of public benchmarks. This is an attempt from our side to solve this.
We understand, performance benchmarks are not easy to execute. Each tool has nuances, and the testing environments must aim to provide a level playing field for all tools.
We have tried our best to be transparent about the setup and configurations used in this performance benchmark. We are open to receiving feedback from the community on what can be done better.
Honestly, I'm curious what other tools exist out there that others are using. What is your stack for debugging many microservices in production (without pulling your hair out)?
I've been eyeing projects like SigNoz[0] but I haven't made the leap yet.
