SigNoz

SigNoz is an open-source observability platform designed to provide a unified solution for metrics, logs, and distributed traces. By offering a 'single pane of glass' experience, the company enables engineering teams to correlate disparate data points, effectively reducing the noise associated with managing complex cloud-native systems. SigNoz serves as a powerful, vendor-agnostic alternative to proprietary enterprise solutions like Datadog and New Relic, emphasizing transparency and control through its open-source architecture. Founded in 2021 by Pranay Prateek and Ankit Nayan, the company emerged from the Y Combinator Winter 2021 batch with a clear vision to democratize observability. Built natively on OpenTelemetry and utilizing ClickHouse for high-performance data aggregation, SigNoz provides both a self-hosted deployment model and a fully managed SaaS offering known as SigNoz Cloud. With a rapidly growing developer community and over 20,000 GitHub stars, the company continues to innovate in areas such as AI-powered anomaly detection and enterprise-grade security compliance.

The mission of SigNoz is to help engineering teams cut through the noise of their various observability sources to find actionable signals, providing a powerful, vendor-agnostic tool that prevents vendor lock-in.
