Leveling Up My MERN Stack Observability with SigNoz
As a developer, there is nothing quite as frustrating as building a solid backend, pushing it, and then staring blankly at terminal logs when a route mysteriously slows down.
With an upcoming project sprint on the horizon, I decided to take on the SigNoz pre-event challenge to warm up. I wanted to move away from relying on console.log() and implement a proper observability backend. I decided to self-host SigNoz and wire it up to RoaVista, a full-stack room booking platform my team and I are currently developing.
Here is how it went, and why one specific feature completely changed how I look at my API routes.
