Welcome to the 25th edition of our monthly product newsletter - SigNal 25! Our team shipped important upgrades to SigNoz, like new trace and logs query builder. We also attended many events and had a small get-together after months. Let’s dive in to see what humans at SigNoz were up to in the month of May 2023.

OpenTelemetry can be used to trace Go applications that use Kafka to find performance issues and bugs. OpenTelemetry is an open-source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) that aims to standardize the generation and collection of telemetry data. Telemetry data includes logs, metrics, and traces. Apache Kafka introduced the ability to add headers to Kafka messages from version 0.11 onwards.

Database monitoring is a critical component in your application performance monitoring. Apart from application code issues, database issues are one of the most common reasons for a bad user experience. MySQL is one of the most popular open-source DBMS that businesses have widely adopted. MySQL monitoring tools can help you identify potential issues with your database, keep a continuous check on your database instances, improve performance and detect and alert you about real-time issues.

In the not-too-distant past, the debate was between on-prem and cloud-native. You’re now faced with the choice of choosing between the different cloud infrastructure providers, and inevitably, someone will throw in the phrase “vendor lock-in”. And not having a response for the famed “vendor-lockin” sometimes leads to building things that are much more complex than required basis the stage that the product is in.

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. We also attended open source focused meetups and published a cost comparison blog comparing SigNoz with other popular observability tools. Let’s dive in to see what humans at SigNoz were up to in the month of April 2023.
