  At KubeCon Europe a very good chunk of booths were observability stacks. Everyone was claiming they're better than the competitors (with some of the just justifying themselves by saying "it's written in Rust).Having dealt with Prometheus (+Thanos) / Grafana / OTEL and other stacks (e.g: custom solution on ClickHouse, Victoria{Metrics,Logs}, Jaeger/Tempo, Loki, ...) and even cloud ones (Google's Monarch rebranded as Prometheus)... what's your selling point? This to me seems like yet another way to re-invent the wheel.If it's just for running locally, okay, fine, but when it comes to production (where the stack really matters) at scale, you end up with lots of tradeoffs and approaches.Why is this one a winning one compared to the overwhelming "competition"? Seems like we're re-inventing the wheel for the 100th time instead of focusing on unifying the efforts in making the existing solutions better. Thankfully we now have OTEL, so at least the interoperability part is somewhat solved (or mitigated)

  how can you claim in the readme "no per-language vendor SDK" and then link to a list of per-language client SDKs?

  I was looking into this just yesterday. So the Loki + … comparison is a bit off in the Open Source space. The main ones are Signoz and ClickStack in this space. Both using ClickHouse as the database. Heavy compared to something like Loki, but they are OTEL native and not log monitoring. So not in the same category.

  There's a few contenders in self-hostable otel:- ClickStack (ex HyperDX) - SigNoz - Traceway - a few moredoes someone has enough feedback on those to be able to tell which one works best?

  This looks cool

  Funny, the first thing I look for for infra projects like these is to find out if it's written in Go. At that point, my confidence level is increased.
