Signoz: Problem encountered on main branch

[MR-Softwares]

Bug description

I am integrating Signoz with my Docker containers and I have checked out from the main branch for this. When I bring it up using Docker, it goes into this process "Container schema-migrator-sync", and I get this error in the logs below.

Can you tell me why this issue is happening, and by when will you fix it? Also, is there currently any stable version that I can use? I will wait for your response.

Thanks for opening this issue. A team member should give feedback soon. In the meantime, feel free to check out the contributing guidelines.

@SigNoz, I’ve found your service to be quite disappointing. I raised an issue but never received any response from your team. Upon checking, I noticed that there are numerous open bugs that haven’t been addressed at all. This raises serious concerns and if someone gets stuck, and there’s no support, how can clients rely on your product? It seems like either the system is being deployed without proper testing or there’s no automation process in place, which is something that really should be there. For your information, I’ve managed to fix the issue on my own branch. My only request is that you work on improving your support and development processes. Please make sure that raised bugs are acknowledged and responded to, so users know someone is actively working on them. This would leave a much more positive impression on clients.

Regards,
Asad

Hi @MR-Softwares , Thanks for the feedback.
I checked this issue and see it was actually resolved with a patch release within a few hours of being reported. Sometimes quick fixes don't get explicit comments before closure, which can create confusion - we'll work on improving that communication.
Our open source community version operates on a collaborative model where users contribute fixes and features through PRs. We appreciate that you found a solution - would you consider submitting it as a PR next time to help other users facing similar issues?
For guaranteed response times and dedicated support, our Cloud and Enterprise plans include formal SLAs. The community version is maintained by volunteers and prioritized based on overall impact and available bandwidth.

We're always working to improve our processes, and your feedback is noted. If you're interested in faster feature development for specific needs, we'd be happy to discuss our paid plans which include priority support and feature requests.
