OpenTelemetry is an open-source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) that aims to standardize the generation and collection of telemetry data. The telemetry data helps developer, DevOps and IT teams to keep a check on their application health.
The telemetry data collected by OpenTelemetry consist of logs, metrics, and traces. Together, they are used for performance monitoring and observability in distributed systems.
In the podcast, Pranay talks about the mission behind SigNoz - unifying traces, metrics, and logs in a single platform and interface. He also shared anecdotes about the evolution of SigNoz since its inception, the community adoption, and its contribution to SigNoz.
Pranay shared insights around simplifying product decisions for an open-source project, why SigNoz moved from Druid to ClickHouse, and what the upcoming roadmap of SigNoz looks like.
Below is the recording and an edited transcript of the conversation.
