Building @SigNozHQ - open-source Metrics, Traces and Logs in a single pane 💻 🤓
Heading to KubeCon next week with some surprises 👀

First: Olly's going to wander the venue. If he hands you an "Olly's Friend" card, bring it to Booth 1372 for a mystery box. One of them has a $5000 voucher inside.

Yesterday was wild 🔥

We shipped our 100th release of SigNoz, and on the same day we hit 500 paid customers.

Completely unplanned.

Looking at the growth curve, almost all 500 came in the past 12 months.

This is what we built SigNoz for. 🚀

→ 357TB of spans ingested per month
→ >10K EC2 instances monitored
→ ~200Mbps continuous ingestion
→ 100M+ unique metrics at peak

As promised, meet our mascot Olly.

Arctic bears are known to be great at finding patterns in complex environments.

Somewhere along the way, he found a pair of orange glasses that changed everything.

Then he found us.

Showed up in the Bay Area and became the most important person on our team.

7 days to go ⏳

In exactly one week, you'll get to meet Olly in person for the first time at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America.

November 10-13 | Atlanta, GA

Booth 1372. See you there!

I know there's been a lot of confusion.

Since yesterday, my team and I have received numerous messages from customers and well-wishers asking about Olly.

The truth is, things have moved very fast.

🚀 AI x Open Source — Bay Area community evening (Oct 22)

Open source and open standards are essential for transparency, & interoperability in the AI

We’re teaming up with Hatchet and Medplum to host an in-person meetup during Linux Foundation’s Open Source AI Week.

Agentic AI is powerful—and unpredictable. That’s why observability (and traceability) is non-negotiable.

This week our SigNoz team was invited to Nutanix HQ in Bay Area to present “Taming Agentic AI with Observability.”

🎥 Clip from the talk below.
Big thanks to the Nutanix team for hosting!

Installed SigNoz on my server in 5 minutes (literally, git clone && install bash) and now all my apps are sending logs automatically!

Really liking the look of signoz though... I hate how scattered everything in grafana is

OTel is generally ahead in terms of how code meets metrics, nowadays, as far as I can see. Works for me

LLM Observability in the Wild - Why OpenTelemetry should be the Standard
LLM Observability breaks in wild today as new libraries like OpenInference don't adhere to OpenTelemetry standards leading to silos and suboptimal performance for users who want to tie LLM observability with rest of their observability stack

🚀 Our article on issues with LLM observability currently and the lack of standards there is in top 10 in HN.

Inspired by my conversation with Pranav from Chatwoot, it seems lots of folks are facing such issues

🤯 Recently I was present a talk in a YC CTO meetup and came back with a surprising realization that observability is still a foreign concept to even the most technical among devs

It was an Unconference talk, so I started with down all the questions which participants were asking.

LLM observability: Some companies claim you need a separate tool for it. But you don’t.

This take might be controversial in some circles, but here’s why:

🚀 Excited to share that SigNoz team will be presenting at Cloud Native x AI meetup happening at Nutanix HQ in San Jose

In this talk, we’ll show how to bring cloud-native observability practices to agentic AI using OpenTelemetry.

We shipped 5 key features in 5 days in our launch week last week 🚀 2000+ views on our livestreams and we are just getting started.

If you missed it, here's a quick recap 👇

we gave every engineer AI—and we still don’t use it for PRDs or docs.

everyone in our team has a cursor/claude/fav LLM subscription. i was curious how our team is actually using these tools day to day. so we talked to our engineers

🚀 23k+⭐ on GitHub, 6k+ in Slack—want to help supercharge it? We’re hiring US-based DevRel Engineers at SigNoz.

We’re open-source & OpenTelemetry-native (logs + metrics + traces). YC-backed. Remote-first (US time zones). Small team, big impact.

devops/sre friends: how fluent are you in YAML—on a scale from “2 spaces” to “tabs”? 😈

we handcrafted a cursed little trivia to make you go what-the-colon. any arcane YAML we missed?

think you cracked it? flex (or confess) your score in the comments 🤣

have a fun friday 🥳

Code is easy—thanks, AI.
Keeping it running is the real superpower.

It's surprising for me how many junior developers never hear about observability..

In this LLM era, when writing code has been made much easier by tools like Claude,

Crossed 23,000 Github stars over the weekend 🥳 🎉

We are continuing to define the standards in open source observability.

One feature I am particularly excited about is Trace funnels where you can analyse user journeys and conversion funnels directly from your traces,

OpenTelemetry is becoming the lingua‑franca for LLM app telemetry. Multi-agent systems need standardized observability.

Here's how to monitor your Vercel AI SDK app with OpenTelemetry + SigNoz in minutes.

🔥 SigNoz team is on fire! We shipped a core improvement recently, which led 30% higher log processing throughput without adding any infrastructure.

We moved from sequential to concurrent processing architecture and that have us some good perf improvement

🚀 We are looking to hire platform engineers in the US at SigNoz. If you have managed huge k8s clusters and like handling scale, do reach out

22k+ ⭐ in github repo. funded by YC and top VCs in Bay Area - scaling fast & looking for folks who have experience handling scale and have experience in Go
