Jouney of building SigNoz, a full-stack opensource observability platform

Description of the talk:

Want to improve observability of your software stack but don’t have the time and know how to figure out different community projects like Prometheus & Jaeger?

In this talk, we shall share our journey of building an observability stack with Prometheus & Jaeger, the challenges we faced doing it and how it led to the genesis of SigNoz.

SigNoz is a unified open source observability platform which provides a seamless interaction between metrics & traces - with native support for Opentelemetry. We shall share a demo of SigNoz and what type of problems you can solve using it.

Highlights of the talk

Is prometheus monitoring sufficient for debugging issues, what are we missing?

How difficult is it to run both Prometheus and Jaeger/Zipkin in-house?

Why is OpenTelemetry important? Which OSS tools work with OpenTelemetry?

Using SigNoz to get out-of-box experience like DataDog vs taking a month's time to set up Prometheus + Cortex + Jaeger
