// EDITOR'S TAKE
SigNoz is the closest single-app replacement, giving you APM, traces and logs behind one OpenTelemetry pipeline, and Uptrace does much the same with a lighter footprint. Prometheus with Grafana is still the most durable metrics stack but ships no application traces, and NetData is built for host-level diagnosis rather than code-level performance.
