datadog-agent VS signoz

It's worse than that, they want security through obscurity too. They feel like someone is inappropriately tinkering with the agent they want customers to install. It's open source: https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-agent ...but the downloads are behind a login: https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-agent#datadog-agent

Serverless developers have the benefit of cloud providers deploying new features which improve our experience and reduce costs. Recently AWS introduced Graviton for Lambda, which leverages their custom ARM-based processor. Using Graviton, AWS says that users can see 19% better performance at 20% lower cost - and many users wouldn't even have to change any of their code at all! At my day job at DataDog, we quickly rolled out ARM-compatible versions of the DataDog Extension and our IaC integrations like the Serverless Plugin and the CDK Construct.

The package is at https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-agent/tree/6.37.1 and it seems to relay on downloads rather than vendored packages (https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-agent/blob/6.37.1/go.mod)

The worse is when many are intermixed, and usually glued together in unconventional ways. Like https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-agent where there's a go, c++, and python build.

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

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.

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.

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.
