Third party API Monitoring Powered by OpenTelemetry Semantics

May 9, 2025 By SigNoz - Open Source Observability Platform In SigNoz
Is it the third-party API or my code? Your service suddenly slows down, or errors spike, and you’re stuck guessing if it’s your own logic or an external API you don’t control. We’ve seen this pain across teams: dashboards don’t tell you which vendor or endpoint is the culprit, and debugging turns into a maze of guesswork. Rate limiting, vendor errors, or integration issues often slip through until users complain.

How to decide between cloud and on-premise monitoring

May 6, 2025 By Dave Swersky In Raygun
Application performance monitoring systems tend to be available in two modes: on-premise and cloud-based SaaS. Which is the "right" choice? Well, it depends on your situation, but overall cloud-based SaaS offerings have significant benefits when compared to on-premise. However, it's not always so simple.

Why no one talks about querying across signals in observability?

May 1, 2025 By Srikanth Chekuri In SigNoz
In today’s complex distributed systems, observability has evolved from a nice-to-have feature to a mission-critical engineering discipline. Engineering teams across organizations depend on robust observability to maintain system reliability and quickly diagnose issues when they inevitably arise. However, current observability tooling significantly lags behind user expectations by failing to support a critical capability: querying across different telemetry signals.
