# SigNoz

Logs, metrics, and traces you host. SigNoz is the OpenTelemetry-native APM — New Relic without the user-and-ingest meter.

**Replaces:** New Relic

**Tier:** Medium

## Problem

New Relic Standard is $10 for the first full platform user then $99/user, plus $0.40/GB after 100 GB. SigNoz is the open-source APM: logs, metrics, traces, one UI, ClickHouse underneath.

## Stack

- [SigNoz](https://signoz.io) — Open-source OpenTelemetry APM (logs, metrics, traces)

## Estimated SaaS cost saved

| You stop paying | Typical / year | Self-host instead |
|---|---:|---|
| New Relic Standard / Pro (small team) | $12,000 | SigNoz + ClickHouse |

**About $12,000 / year** on a small team, before you count lock-in.

## Deploy on Railway

Placeholder: SigNoz is a multi-service stack (query, collector, ClickHouse). Second-wave template after Grafana-only. Datadog's /replace/datadog page stays on Grafana + Checkcle.

## AGENT_PROMPT

```
Replace New Relic with self-hosted SigNoz.

- Follow SigNoz's self-host compose (ClickHouse + the query service). Point existing OpenTelemetry SDKs at it.
- Confirm one trace and one log land. Restrict signups.
- Write AGENT_PROMPT.md. Do not enable SigNoz Cloud unless the operator asks.
```

## FAQ

### Why not Grafana?

/replace/datadog is Grafana + Checkcle (dashboards and uptime). New Relic is APM — traces and a unified ingest. SigNoz is that job. Use Grafana for dashboards, SigNoz for traces, or pick one operator.
