Hey @User Welcome to the community 👋 To your question regarding SigNoz - you have to instrument your go app using otel sdks. If you are using popular frameworks like gin, gorillamux it should be very easy to instrument your http requests - https://signoz.io/docs/instrumentation/golang/#automatically-create-tracesspans-on-http-requests SigNoz has otel collector built it - so you just have to point your app to SigNoz installation and visualise data in SigNoz dashboard. Based on what we are seeing on managed vs self hosted - we have seen people prefer self hosted to have more control and also not sending data outside your AWS/GCP vpc. Fintech companies are also generally more cautious here. if you are on k8s, etc - scaling SigNoz is fairly easy - but you would still need some devops/sre capabilities in your team to set things up

very helpful answer, Pranay! It would be great, if we could have a FAQ hosting such clear answers, as many developers or sysadmins aren’t used with APM implementations. It saved me a lot of effort on going out and looking things up. All the best!

Sure @User thats a great suggestion

Hi Pranay, Thanks for the detailed info! We use GRPC internally and I am a bit confused on automatic instrumentation and manual instrumentation for grpc communications. Do we have any examples or sample instrumentations which I can refer to?

@User Which framework do you use? @User Can you provide some sample example on auto+manual instrumentation for Hardik

We use golang with grpc and protobuf. We have a microservice architecture internally.

Hey @User We have a blog on instrumenting golang app (http/grpc) https://signoz.io/docs/instrumentation/golang/ Let me know if this helps.

Hey Yes, followed this and added interceptors and instrumented some calls. Working crudely so needs a bit more work. Thanks!

nice. @User I think we have a demo call scheduled tomorrow. So we can chat more then.

Yes

Precisely, Hardik asked the same things I was planning to ask today hahaha. Thanks for that.
