Maintainer of SigNoz here, we have users using at TBs/day for logs, metrics and traces.
Some big tech companies are also using SigNoz's self hosted and cloud products.
You can take a look at case studies of our users here: https://signoz.io/case-study/

If you have any questions you can ask in our active slack community: http://signoz.io/slack

Can you clarify if self-hosted is full featured in terms of feature parity with say the Cloud "Teams" version? Wanting to escape NewRelic, but not to another "gacha game" where I'm tricked either in the mid or long term with a bunch of hidden "oopsies, can't do that." I need to know what can cannot be done and know that it's going to be there for the long-haul and not pull out at some point. Similar to why I prefer options like Mattermost over all others, etc.

Compared to Cloud version, Self hosted free version doesn't have ingestion control/limits, SSO, onboarding module (how to configure your applications to send data. But self hosted free users can use our docs. Also, it's planned to add onboarding module to self hosted free version as well)
Apart from above features all other features are available in self hosted free version.

In future as well, all basic features needed by non-enterprise users would be available in selfhosted version.

Thank you for these details - can you please explain the ingestion control/limits more? This doesn't really seem clear.

This feature: https://signoz.io/blog/introducing-ingest-guard-feature
This helps to set per second or per day limits on ingestion to prevent unexpected billing spikes, more relevant to cloud and enterprise users.

hey, can you check the feature set here: https://signoz.io/pricing/ under community edition and teams.

Thanks, I didn't really see a clear enough delineation of differences there when I reviewed them before...

Never heard of it, but can recommend TIG stack for gathering metrics and alerting. Or, if your environment is highly dynamic, Prometheus & Grafana.

GrayLog was alright last time I dealt with it, but I want to try Loki for my homelab.

the upside of signoz is that everything you need for basic alerting is in 1 place, metrics/logs/alerts

using TIG, ELK, Netdata, Splunk, etc is like 3 or 4 different consoles, apps and configs in various places

I used ELK for 2 yrs, metricbeat, auditbeat + filebeat, it worked but was major pain to setup and administer, not simple at all and very resource hungry
