Welcome to our monthly product newsletter - SigNal 24! Last month, our team worked on the upcoming trace and logs explorer page. With the new update, our users will be able to drive deeper insights into their application performance quickly.

Let’s dive in to see what humans at SigNoz were up to in the month of April 2023.

Democratize observability for engineering teams of all sizes! That’s the vision that drives us every day.

We did a cost analysis of SigNoz and compared it with other vendors like DataDog, New Relic, and Grafana.
