    When you start a Codespace for a project, it will try to use whatever Dev Container you have specified in your repo, else it will try to use a kitchen sink container. That default kitchen sink is can be way too much and so if you will be working with Conda environments with an Anaconda or Miniconda Dev Container template instead.

    3 projects | dev.to | 31 Dec 2022
    there are already built docker images for common development environment. You can either use one of them, or build one from Docker file. Using a pre-built dev container doesn't mean you are only limited to that image, because you can still add other tools, which they are called features to that image. For a list of the pre-built templates check here, and for the other features that you can add check this. You don't need a Docker file, unless you want to build your dev environment step by step.

  • Decrusting the tracing crate [video] by Jon Gjengset
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 10 Feb 2024
    The video description is as follows:

    In this stream, we peel back the crust on the tracing crate — https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/ — and explore its interface, structure, and mechanisms. We talk about spans, events, their attributes and fields, and how to think about them in async code. We also dig into what subscribers are, how they pick up events, and how you can construct your own subscribers through the layer abstraction. For more details about tracing, see https://docs.rs/tracing/latest/tracing/.

  • Vendor lock-in is in the small details

    > What's been your biggest issues around ergonomics/amenities for OpenTelemetry?

    I can't speak generally, but in the Rust ecosystem the various crates don't play well together. Here's one example: <https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/issues/2648> There are four crates involved (tracing-attributes, tracing-opentelemetry, opentelemetry, and opentelemetry-datadog) and none of them fit properly into any of the others.

    Tracing is Tokio's alternative for async code.
  • Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (27/2023)!
    9 projects | /r/rust | 3 Jul 2023
    At a technical level, in Rust, both [tracing]https://crates.io/crates/tracing) and log are entire ecosystems (though for the latter at least there's also third party logging frameworks), and there's at least a bridge from log to tracing.
  • How can I write a tracing subscriber that saves to a database?
    1 project | /r/rust | 3 Jul 2023
    I am using https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing for logging purposes in my application. I would like to develop a feature wherein logs should be saved to a database table (via sea-orm). Something similar is this, but it does not solve my needs fully.

  • I was wrong about rust
    4 projects | /r/rust | 20 May 2023
    Oh nice! IIRC when I checked, it was the Unicode tables that smashed the code size. I recently hit the same issue with the tracing crate, where a crate feature (for env var filtering) pulled in regex and my binary was suddenly 1MB bigger.
  • Debugging and profiling embedded applications.

    I know about tools such as tracing, jaeger or tracy. While having a complete tracing could be a potential solution, these tools don't work with no_std.
  • Custom Axum Logging for Routes?
    2 projects | /r/rust | 17 Mar 2023
    tracing by itself only outputs log data, you need to consume them in a subscriber, the tracing-subscriber crate exists for this. (example)

What are some alternatives?

When comparing templates and tracing you can also consider the following projects:

kcat - Generic command line non-JVM Apache Kafka producer and consumer

log4rs - A highly configurable logging framework for Rust

features - A collection of Dev Container Features managed by Dev Container spec maintainers. See https://github.com/devcontainers/feature-starter to publish your own

slog - Structured, contextual, extensible, composable logging for Rust

features - A collection of development container 'features' for machine learning and data science

env_logger - A logging implementation for `log` which is configured via an environment variable.

conda-devcontainer-demo - Mini Conda + Mamba dev container setup to make working with environments easy.

log - Logging implementation for Rust

docked - Running Rails from Docker for easy start to development

opentelemetry-rust - The Rust OpenTelemetry implementation

tracing-blog-post - Example code for a blog post about tracing

vector - A high-performance observability data pipeline.
