  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • signoz

    SigNoz is an open-source observability platform native to OpenTelemetry with logs, traces and metrics in a single application. An open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. 🔥 🖥. 👉 Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool

  • The next step is about choosing a backend analysis tool. Jaeger supports data formats of OpenTelemetry. But Jaeger is limited in terms of its UI and does only distributed tracing. For a robust monitoring and observability framework, you need a unified UI for both metrics and traces. And that's where SigNoz is far more suited than Jaeger as a distributed tracing tool.

  • opentracing-javascript

    Discontinued OpenTracing API for Javascript (both Node and browser). 🛑 This library is DEPRECATED! https://github.com/opentracing/specification/issues/163

  • OpenTracing is now archived, and it is suggested to migrate to OpenTelemetry.
