What is this?
SigNoz is an open-source observability platform built on OpenTelemetry: logs, metrics, traces, alerts, and dashboards in one tool for debugging production apps and monitoring AI agents.

The Community edition is free open-source software you deploy on your own infrastructure; SigNoz Cloud is fully managed; Enterprise adds Cloud, BYOC, or self-hosted with compliance features.

To self-host the free Community edition, deploy with Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, or Foundry, then instrument your apps.

Enterprise plans add SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance, RBAC, ingestion controls, custom retention, and data residency.

SigNoz keeps metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerts together with trace-to-log correlation, and claims 50% lower resource requirements than Elastic during ingestion.

It is available only on SigNoz Cloud.
