NestJS - Monitoring your NestJS Application using OpenTelemetry and SigNoz

Monitoring your NestJS application is critical for performance management. But setting up monitoring for NestJS applications can get cumbersome requiring multiple libraries and patterns. That's where OpenTelemetry comes in.

In this tutorial, we will use SigNoz as a backend. SigNoz is an open-source APM tool that can be used for both metrics and distributed tracing.

Let's get started and see how to use OpenTelemetry for a NestJS application.

More about SigNoz:

SigNoz - Monitor your applications and troubleshoot problems in your deployed applications, an open-source alternative to DataDog, New Relic, etc. Backed by Y Combinator.

SigNoz helps developers monitor applications and troubleshoot problems in their deployed applications. SigNoz uses distributed tracing to gain visibility into your software stack.

If you need any clarification or find something missing, feel free to raise a GitHub issue with the label documentation or reach out to us at the community slack channel.
