I was wondering does SigNoz uses query engine apart from Prometheus, https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/blob/main/pkg/query-service/app/clickhouseReader/reader.go#L47 for the clickhouse db?

@User We don't use TSDB (Time Series Database) of Prometheus but we use promQL and alerting from prometheus because they are very powerful.

So, the query service of signoz is exactly how Prometheus API is but it fetches data from ClickHouse rather than prometheus tsdb

No..trace data has very different format for storage and querying. It is inspired from the discussions at https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/issues/1438

So, the tracing system at SigNoz is inspired from jaeger, metrics system from prometheus. We shall try to standardise all inspirations after we have logs also
