Jaeger vs New Relic - Key differences, use-cases and alternatives

Jaeger and New Relic are tools used in the application monitoring and observability domain. While Jaeger is an open source tool under Cloud Native Computing Foundation, New Relic is a SaaS vendor in the observability domain. Let us explore the key differences between Jaeger and New Relic in this article. New Relic is an extensive SaaS tool and provides application performance as well as infrastructure monitoring. Jaeger provides an open-source solution for end-to-end distributed tracing.

Jaeger vs OpenTracing - Key differences, use-cases and alternatives

Jaeger and OpenTracing are both open-source projects. Jaeger was originally built by teams at Uber and then open-sourced. The OpenTracing project was also started by teams at Uber, and hence they are compatible with each other. While Jaeger is an end-to-end distributed tracing tool, OpenTracing is a set of APIs and libraries that can be used to instrument your application.

Metrics first look, more robust frontend and much more - Signal 04

Folks! Great to have you over for our monthly product update aka Signal #04. This month we made great strides in both our frontend and backend pods. Metrics ingestion, testing frameworks, improved tracking features for gRPC calls and much more! We also crossed 200+ members on our slack community 🎉🎉🎉 Let's dive in to see what humans at SigNoz have been upto!

Observability 101 using OpenTelemetry & SigNoz @ Kubernetes Community Day

In this workshop, we will learn about the basics of observability and its benefits. We will take a hands on approach and actually instrument an application with OpenTelemetry, which is a vendor neutral instrumentation library. Then we will visualise the data sent by open telemetry with SigNoz, which is a full stack observability platform. In the last section, we will take an example of a real world issue and how this observability stack can be used to find the root cause of the issue.

SigNoz Community Call - August 2021

SigNoz is an open source alternative to DataDog, New Relic. In this community call, we discuss how the technical architecture in detail and how data flows in the backend services. We also discuss steps on how we can make SigNoz more performant including ways to benchmark performance at different loads. We hold a community call in the last/second last Saturday of every month.

Monitor your Tomcat Java Application in 20 mins with OpenTelemetry & SigNoz

In this video, we show a step by step process to monitor your Spring Boot application with OpenTelemetry. We use SigNoz as the backend and visualisation UI. SigNoz is an open source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. We natively support Opentelemetry based instrumentation. You can instrument any application written in a language/framework supported by OpenTelemetry and visualise metrics and traces in SigNoz.

NodeJS application monitoring with OpenTelemetry

In this video, we show a step by step process to monitor your Node JS application with OpenTelemetry. We use SigNoz as the backend and visualisation UI. SigNoz is an open source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. We natively support Opentelemetry based instrumentation. You can instrument any application written in a language/framework supported by OpenTelemetry and visualise metrics and traces in SigNoz.
