What is SigNoz?
SigNoz is an open-source observability platform built natively on OpenTelemetry, combining logs, metrics and traces in one application as an alternative to Datadog and New Relic. It was co-founded by Pranay Prateek and Ankit Nayan in 2020 (Y Combinator W21) and is headquartered in San Francisco. Teams can self-host the open-source edition for free or use SigNoz Cloud, which starts at $49/month including usage.
