🎧 AirPods Pro 3 / Powerbeats Pro 2How I self-hosted SigNoz on AWS EC2 to monitor Claude, one sneaky IP timeout
Pooja took the pre-event brief literally: stand SigNoz up yourself, point something real at it, and write down exactly what happened. Her dispatch walks through self-hosting SigNoz on an AWS EC2 instance to monitor Claude, end to end, and it does not skip the part where things broke. One sneaky IP timeout quietly held the whole setup up until the telemetry pointed straight at it. That is the honest, reproducible, start-to-finish account the challenge was asking for, and it is the one that won.
