You don't even need Promscale for this. Grafana has support for displaying information from both plus logs. As long as log messages include TraceID is straightforward use Grafana for debugging.
yeah, promscale is an interesting project with similar goal - trying to bring together different signals ( only metrics & traces for promscale) under one hood.
I have not explored the project in detail, but as far as I understand it uses Grafana and Jaeger UI, so I am not sure how seamless is the UI interaction, while SigNoz has a UI built ground up for observability use cases.

But I wonder if using Promscale https://github.com/timescale/promscale would make Prometheus & Jaeger not such a big problem as SigNoz imply.
Promscale readme:
> Promscale is a unified metric and trace observability backend for Prometheus, Jaeger and OpenTelemetry built on PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB.
Either way, SigNoz seems interesting indeed. And am glad to see that SigNoz supports OpenTelemetry.
