-# Steps to Deploy SigNoz
+<p align="center"><img src="https://signoz.io/img/SigNozLogo-200x200.svg" alt="SigNoz Logo" width="100"></p>
 
-1. git clone https://gitlab.com/signoz-oss/signoz.git && cd signoz
-2. helm dependency update deploy/kubernetes/platform
-3. kubectl create ns platform
-4. helm -n platform install signoz deploy/kubernetes/platform
-5. kubectl -n platform apply -Rf deploy/kubernetes/jobs
-6. kubectl -n platform apply -f deploy/kubernetes/otel-collector
+# SigNoz
+SigNoz is an opensource observability platform. SigNoz uses distributed tracing to gain visibility into your systems and powers data using [Kafka](https://kafka.apache.org/) (to handle high ingestion rate and backpressure) and [Apache Druid](https://druid.apache.org/) (Apache Druid is a high performance real-time analytics database), both proven in industry to handle scale.
 
+
+![SigNoz Feature](https://signoz.io/img/readme_feature1.jpg)
+
+
+### Features:
+- Application overview metrics like RPS, 50th/90th/99th Percentile latencies and Error Rate
+- Slowest endpoints in your application
+- See exact request trace to figure out issues in downstream services, slow DB queries, call to 3rd party services like payment gateways, etc
+- Filter traces by service name, operation, latency, error, tags/annotations. 
+- Aggregate metrics on filtered traces. Eg, you can get error rate and 99th percentile latency of `customer_type: gold` or `deployment_version: v2` or `external_call: paypal`
+- Unified UI for metrics and traces. No need to switch from Prometheus to Jaeger to debug issues.
+- In-built workflows to reduce your efforts in detecting common issues like new deployment failures, 3rd party slow APIs, etc (Coming Soon)
+- Anomaly Detection Framework (Coming Soon)
+
+
+### Motivation:
+- SaaS vendors charge insane amount to provide Application Monitoring. They often surprise you by huge month end bills without any tranparency of data sent to them.
+- Data privacy and compliance demands data to not leave the network boundary
+- No more magic happening in agents installed in your infra. You take control of sampling, uptime, configuration. Also, you can build modules over SigNoz to extend business specific capabilities.
+
+
+
+# Getting Started
+
+Deploy in Kubernetes using Helm. Below steps will install the SigNoz in platform namespace inside you k8s cluster. 
+
+
+```console
+git clone https://gitlab.com/signoz-oss/signoz.git && cd signoz
+helm dependency update deploy/kubernetes/platform
+kubectl create ns platform
+helm -n platform install signoz deploy/kubernetes/platform
+kubectl -n platform apply -Rf deploy/kubernetes/jobs
+kubectl -n platform apply -f deploy/kubernetes/otel-collector
+```
  
-## Test HotROD application with SigNoz
+ **You can choose a different namespace too. In that case, you need to point your applications to correct address to send traces. In our sample application just change the `JAEGER_ENDPOINT` environment variable in `sample-apps/hotrod/deployment.yaml`*
 
-1. kubectl create ns sample-application
-2. kubectl -n sample-application apply -Rf sample-apps/hotrod/
+### Test HotROD application with SigNoz
 
+```console
+kubectl create ns sample-application
+kubectl -n sample-application apply -Rf sample-apps/hotrod/
+```
 
 ### How to generate load
 
-- kubectl -n sample-application run strzal --image=djbingham/curl --restart='OnFailure' -i --tty --rm --command -- curl -X POST -F 'locust_count=6' -F 'hatch_rate=2' http://locust-master:8089/swarm
+`kubectl -n sample-application run strzal --image=djbingham/curl --restart='OnFailure' -i --tty --rm --command -- curl -X POST -F 'locust_count=6' -F 'hatch_rate=2' http://locust-master:8089/swarm`
 
+### See UI
+`kubectl -n platform port-forward svc/signoz-frontend 3000:3000`
 
 ### How to stop load
 
-- kubectl -n sample-application run strzal --image=djbingham/curl --restart='OnFailure' -i --tty --rm --command -- curl http://locust-master:8089/stop
\ No newline at end of file
+`kubectl -n sample-application run strzal --image=djbingham/curl --restart='OnFailure' -i --tty --rm --command -- curl http://locust-master:8089/stop`
