The genesis of SigNoz - A full-stack open source observability platform
Why we felt there was a need for a full stack open source observability platform and how we went about building it.

Profiles in Open Source: Dana Fridman & Contributing as a Product Designer
Dana Fridman is a design guru. Her contributions to UX at Logz.io are unmatched, and her input on upcoming updates to our app’s UI will be an achievement. But her portfolio is getting more than just Logz.io projects right now. As part of her work here, she is also making her mark on Jaeger. You see, Dana is the major design contributor to the open source Jaeger project. Open source contributions tend to be backend-focused and the domain of developers.
Building a Go-to-Market Strategy for Developer Tools
As a YC alum and co-founder of Mattermost, I often get asked by early stage YC companies about what it’s like to build a commercial open source business. With the start-up’s permission, we’ve started recording some of the Q&A sessions, transcribing them and sharing the more popular questions on the Mattermost blog in short form articles.
How We've Built an Open Source Community at Mattermost
Our community has been at the heart of what makes Mattermost great since the earliest days. The first community members were people who were trying out the earliest versions of the platform, filing bugs and wanting to make feature improvements. Our open source community has grown, contributing thousands of pull requests, from new features and plugins to translations and documentation.
Introducing Open Source Fridays
We’re excited to share that Mattermost has launched Open Source Fridays as a way to help our Engineering team have a structured opportunity to support and get involved in more open source projects inside and outside of Mattermost.
How to deploy an open source database in 10 minutes | Aiven
A short demo showing how to create managed data infrastructure in 10 minutes with Aiven. ABOUT AIVEN We help organizations fuel the continuous innovation needed to create awesome, data-intensive applications by using the leading open source technologies. After building expertise managing mission-critical data infrastructure for companies like F-Secure and Nokia, Aiven’s founders noticed that cloud adoption was increasing but infrastructure solutions were either proprietary or difficult to translate into business results.
Open source enterprise support vs free open source use
Many enterprises use open source enterprise support from a vendor, such as Red Hat or Canonical, to boost uptime and peace of mind. Others choose to use open source without any additional vendor support, relying on one of the major benefits of open source – the robust community support that is freely available.

Debugging Development Logs with Papertrail and rKubeLog
It’s important to ensure the logging and monitoring of a service is as consistent across environments as the code itself. However, it can be expensive and cumbersome to test the logging functionality with the usual required log exporters, database infrastructure, and processing requirements of normal production-grade solutions.
Doubling Down: What It's Like Contributing to Open Source at Logz.io
Logz.io has always prided itself as a company pushing the use of open source tech. As we have moved to expand our reach with metrics and traces over the past year and a half, we have doubled down on our own contributions to the community. With (distributed) traces in particular, we have been able to forge ahead. Our relationship with the teams at Jaeger and OpenTelemetry have really blossomed (and we are kind of proud to have supported the latter in the run-up to the OpenTelemetry v1.0 release).
