All batteries included Open Source Background Job alternative
Hey, as a solo entrepreneur that is following the motto: “if you cannot find a elixir job, create your own”, I’m searching for free and good alternatives to something critical in a web SaaS product, background job libraries, which includes free dashboards, given that the solo entrepreneur don’t have money to subscribe to costly observability tools like Datadog, neither time to expend doing non feature related code, which includes infrastructure. In this kind of scenario, Phoenix Dashboards are a must, and I can imagine ways to contribute to the SaaS Phoenix ecosystem, bringing other simple things like error tracking module that can substitute something like errbit. Last time I had to build a product, circa 2018, I used verk, which includes a free ready to use and very simple but useful dashboard that saved my life. Is this still the only alternative?

You can check out SigNoz ( GitHub - SigNoz/signoz: SigNoz is an open-source observability platform native to OpenTelemetry with logs, traces and metrics in a single application. An open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. 🔥 🖥. 👉 Open source Application Performance Monitoring (APM) & Observability tool · GitHub) - it’s an open source datadog alternative
Not too sure about background jobs, but there’s blog on monitoring applications in elixir Monitor your Elixir application with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz | SigNoz

SigNoz is nice and has been pointed out already.
I use this for my own projects and I’m very happy with it: GitHub - openobserve/openobserve: Open source observability platform for logs, metrics, traces, frontend monitoring, pipelines and LLM observability. A sophisticated, simple and highly performant alternative to Datadog, Splunk, and Elasticsearch with 140x lower storage costs and single binary deployment. · GitHub
Though disclaimer: haven’t used it with Elixir yet, only Rust and Golang.
A very nice all-in-one APM solution.

For something like DataDog you can use Grafana with Loki and OpenTelemetry. For error tracking I prefer Sentry over Errbit. Also Sentry added some APM stuff as well to their platform.
