I'm a committer on Apache Druid and generally a big fan of observability. I'm glad that you found Druid useful in building this!

A tip, if you aren't already doing it: with metric and trace data, it helps a ton to set up partitioning and sorting according to the query patterns you expect. Timeseries databases usually do this out of the box, because they can make assumptions about your query patterns, but general purpose databases like Druid usually need an extra step or two. Some references:

Thanks for the tips. Agree, we need to fine tune our druid setup and make it more performant. If its Ok, can I reach out to you on twitter DM to get some specific advice?
