Cloud computing and containerization have brought many benefits to IT systems, like speed to market and on-demand scaling. But it has also increased operational complexity. Applications built on dynamic and distributed infrastructure are challenging to operate and maintain. A robust observability framework can help application owners stay on top of their software systems. In this article, we will introduce SigNoz - an open source observability platform.

Distributed tracing helps you track requests across services and understand issues affecting your application performance. In distributed cloud architecture, debugging performance issues is complicated. Distributed tracing gives visibility to teams on how a user request performs across different services, protocols, and cloud infrastructure. Let’s start with a brief overview of distributed tracing.

The post-pandemic world is more digital. Covid-19 fundamentally impacted how we live, work, interact, and shop. And while some of the structural trends (such as the rise in remote work or shifting consumer preferences) were already underway, the pandemic accelerated them by a significant number of years. The competitive landscape is digital, and the winners and losers are defined through the customer experience they provide.

We recently announced a FREE ready-to-go standalone SaaS logon simulator tool for Microsoft AVD, available here. This joins our fully featured logon simulator available for use on-premises, as SaaS or in the cloud within our synthetic monitoring suite.

The Dynatrace platform is a software-driven monitoring platform that simplifies enterprise cloud complexity and accelerates the pace of digital transformation for enterprises. There are many top solutions on the market, but Dynatrace is one of the most popular for its ability to monitor both mobile apps and real users simultaneously. By offering a shared platform for understanding metrics, Dynatrace also helps developers, operations, and business teams improve performance.

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. At SigNoz, we are building an OpenTelemetry native APM.

Five ways to align security, collaboration and business outcomes to drive world-class, secure applications experiences.
