I think Signoz is a good product. The team really understands that it you need all 3 - logs, metrics and traces - to effectively observe and troubleshoot applications and has done a good implementation.

Certain difference on how OpenObserve is different than Signoz:

1. Built in rust for high performance and memory safety. 2. Has its own data storage engine based on open specification of Apache Parquet. This allows the data to be used by other applications outside of OpenObserve if desired. 3. Use stateless nodes in architecture (You are going to love it from maintenance point of view). 4. Use of object storage for extreme scalability and low cost. 5. Requires far lower resources than Signoz. Can practically be run using a single binary/container. There are users ingesting terabytes of data on a single node. There are people running OpenObserve on raspberry-pi. 6. A lot easier to setup and maintain. 7. Ingest and query functions are awesome. Give them a shot.
