I used Signoz + Clickstack on a vibe coded Go server project a few weeks ago

I used Signoz + Clickstack on a vibe coded Go server project a few weeks ago. I just made codex figure out how to setup signoz + dependencies via docker compose. I even got it to pre-populate signoz with dashboards. It wasn't too bad. The whole thing runs with a few GB. I tried to cover metrics, tracing, and logging at the same time. This is not a production ready setup but you need to trade off cost vs. utility here. If it's useful enough, that could justify extra cost. I have a background in having done a lot of stuff on the Elastic stack related to this; including setting up a big Elastic Fleet based stack for one client at some point. It might not be the cheapest, but it does provide awesome filtering and querying capabilities. However, a lot of teams that use it don't really know how to tap into that capability so it tends to be overengineered for what it does in the end. And the extra, underutilized complexity is why a lot of teams are wary of dealing with that stack. …

I was looking into this just yesterday. So the Loki + … comparison is a bit off in the Open Source space. The main ones are Signoz and ClickStack in this space. Both using ClickHouse as the database. Heavy compared to something like Loki, but they are OTEL native and not log monitoring. So not in the same category.

I agree. The sentiment applies to most analytics. People who setup analytics are not the same as end users.

You're absolutely on point with this, I've made the perf tracking opinionated, so it comes preconfigured with SLOs that are good for most of the projects where nobody would bother to set them up. Traceway has custom dashboards, supports otel logs/traces/metrics/exceptions fully, has session replays for web and flutter (working on ios/android now), has alerting integrations with slack/email/github, oauth login w google/github, and a bunch of other features... All MIT. None behind a paywall. It has a specific set of trade offs, those are by design, but I am also always open to changing them and improving it. If you try it and have any thoughts the git issues are constantly monitored.
