autometrics-rs VS signoz

I’ve been working on an open source project built on OpenTelemetry and Prometheus client libraries (https://autometrics.dev). The DX of the OTel libraries is pretty painful in all the languages we’ve used. Granted, we’re using them for metrics while traces are more common, but still.

I think the fundamental issue for the DX is that it’s trying to do everything everyone might want out of all of the observability signals. That’s a useful and laudable goal but it means that everything is configurable and relatively difficult to use.

If you go with Prometheus, we’re building Autometrics to make producing and querying metrics easier for developers. It makes it trivial to instrument functions to track the request rate, error rate, and latency and then writes PromQL for you. The Autometrics libraries are thin layers on top of existing Prometheus and OpenTelemetry libraries.

Autometrics is an open source observability framework that makes it trivial to add useful metrics to your code and writes Prometheus queries for you to help you understand the data. This feature shows the power that comes from pairing code instrumentation with automatically writing queries (and the queries it writes are a whole lot more complicated than what you'd want to write by hand!).

How do people tend to get metrics off of embedded devices?

I’m working on https://github.com/autometrics-dev/autometrics-rs and people asked whether it could be used in embedded contexts but I wasn’t sure how you’d hook up the device to something like Prometheus.

I just opened these two issues for [supporting `prometheus-client`](https://github.com/fiberplane/autometrics-rs/issues/25) and another for [supporting exemplars](https://github.com/fiberplane/autometrics-rs/issues/26).

You should also check out SigNoz [1], we are an open-core alternative to DataDog - based natively on OpenTelemetry. We also have a cloud product if you don't want to host yourself

You might want to have a look at SigNoz [1] as well. We have also published some perf benchmark wrt Elastic & Loki [2] and have some cool features like logs pipeline for manipulating logs before ingestion

Check Signoz's repo on GitHub

SigNoz maintainer here.

We also have traces, metrics and logs in a single application which makes correlation across them much easier. From what I can understand from Quickwit website, they use Grafana and Jaeger for UI.

Here'e our github repo if you want to check it out. https://github.com/signoz/signoz

Using user's private with no opt-out option is unethical.

If anyone is looking self-hosted for alternatives then they should try SigNoz: https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz

SigNoz is a great New Relic alternative that is open-source and provides three signals in a single pane of glass. You can monitor logs, metrics, and traces and correlate signals for better insights into application performance.

If anyone wants to check the project, here's our github repo - https://github.com/signoz/signoz

You need a backend to which you can send the collected data for monitoring and visualization. SigNoz is an OpenTelemetry-native APM that is well-suited for visualizing OpenTelemetry data.

Once the data is collected, it needs to be sent to a backend. That’s where SigNoz comes into the picture. SigNoz is an open-source OpenTelemetry-native APM that provides logs, metrics and traces under a single pane of glass.
