Graceful Shutdown in Go: Practical Patterns
You might look into https://openobserve.ai/ - you can self host it and it's a single binary that ingests logs/metrics/traces. I've found it useful for my side projects.

Show HN: Kubetail – Real-time log search for Kubernetes
Look into https://logdy.dev . I've played around with it a little bit, but really putting some work into learning it and integrating it with OTEL traces is my next side project.
Another alternative is https://openobserve.ai/ . It needs to run as a daemon to ingest logs (instead of opening a file), but it has a really nice UI.

Observability 2.0 and the Database for It
There are a whole bunch of attempts to unify metrics, logs and traces into a single DB now.
* InfluxDB (the newest Rust rewrite)
* http://openobserve.ai/
* https://uptrace.dev/

I got OpenTelemetry to work. But why was it so complicated?
You are generally correct but I've used https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve for several projects for dev-only complete OTel stack (dashboards included) and I liked it. There are better dashboards out there for sure, but for what I needed locally it did the job fantastically well. Zero complaints.
It's extremely easy to self-host, either on a dev machine, a VPS, or in any Docker-based PaaS.

Show HN: Cardstock- Free TCG Proxy Manager for Magic, Yugioh, & Pokemon
This thing is amazing. Kamal gives me everything I could want (easy console access, easy shell access, a way to manage secrets, a way to see my logs, and letsencrypt support for DNS), all without a PaaS tax. The best part is the accessories feature: https://kamal-deploy.org/docs/commands/accessory/. I am running my main app with two accessories: Meilisearch(https://meilisearch.com) and OpenObserve (https://openobserve.ai). Instead of paying Algolia to host search infrastructure and sentry to host monitoring infrastructure, I’m hosting my own OSS without any fanfare.
Upscaling:
-
A $5 to $10 VPS can do a lot more than you think
OpenObserve for logging and observability of our other apps
