What is SigNoz?

SigNoz makes LLM traces readable with a conversation-style Thread view.

SigNoz now renders AI traces as a conversation: each LLM call's input and output messages, reasoning, tool calls and results laid out in sequence, instead of raw JSON in span details. It reads OTel gen_ai attributes plus formats from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, LiteLLM, OpenInference and others. The v1 alert rule API is still set for removal on November 11.

What is Split.io?

Split FME's March releases pull feature flags fully into the Harness DevOps platform.

Split.io now ships under the Harness Feature Management & Experimentation (FME) brand, and the substantive activity is captured in the rolled-up release-notes page rather than per-release entries. The March 2026 wave landed three real ships: Policy As Code (OPA) for FME Feature Flags, Feature Flag Archiving with RBAC and pre-archive checks, and the GA of FME steps in Harness pipelines covering full flag lifecycle management. The rest of the recent feed is scraper artifacts — page chrome captured as titles.

SigNoz makes LLM traces readable with a conversation-style Thread view.

◆ Current state

SigNoz now renders AI traces as a conversation: each LLM call's input and output messages, reasoning, tool calls and results laid out in sequence, instead of raw JSON in span details. It reads OTel gen_ai attributes plus formats from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, LiteLLM, OpenInference and others. The v1 alert rule API is still set for removal on November 11.

◆ Where it's heading

SigNoz is moving into LLM observability from both sides: August's plugin put it inside AI coding agents, and the Thread view now makes it a place to debug AI apps. Underneath, the alerting API keeps migrating on fixed, repeatedly announced dates. Alert channels into incident tools fill out the operational side.

◆ Prediction

Expect more AI-specific views on top of the Thread view, such as token or cost breakdowns per conversation, and the v1 rules removal to ship on November 11 as announced.

Split FME's March releases pull feature flags fully into the Harness DevOps platform.

◆ Current state

Split.io now ships under the Harness Feature Management & Experimentation (FME) brand, and the substantive activity is captured in the rolled-up release-notes page rather than per-release entries. The March 2026 wave landed three real ships: Policy As Code (OPA) for FME Feature Flags, Feature Flag Archiving with RBAC and pre-archive checks, and the GA of FME steps in Harness pipelines covering full flag lifecycle management. The rest of the recent feed is scraper artifacts — page chrome captured as titles.

◆ Where it's heading

FME is becoming a first-class part of the Harness DevOps surface rather than a standalone feature-flag tool. Pipeline-native flag operations, policy-as-code governance, and archiving as a managed lifecycle state all reflect a single direction: feature flags as a governed, audited, and pipeline-integrated component of the deployment system. The standalone Split UX is fading into Harness conventions.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Harness-platform conventions to land on FME — RBAC unification, environments and pipelines parity, OPA policy templates shipped out of the box, and observability tying flag changes back into deploy-failure/MTTR dashboards. Standalone-Split UX surfaces will likely be retired further.
