tracetest-nomad VS tracetest

Tracetest came out in May 2022, and I first got my hands on Tracetest back in June 2022, so it was still pretty fresh! At the time, it integrated only with Jaeger. More specifically, it used the Jaeger API to pull OTel Traces from Jaeger to register them into Tracetest. You then used the UI to create trace-based tests.

Ever since I started exploring Nomad, one of the things that I’ve enjoyed doing is taking Docker Compose files and Kubernetes manifests, and translating them into HashiCorp Nomad jobspec. I did it for Temporal back in March 2022, and also for an early version of Tracetest, back in the summer of 2022.

The code to execute this scenario is contained in the delete_test.ts file from a repo which we will clone and run locally further in this article. First, let’s discuss the code for the key sections that are utilizing the [@tracetest/client](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tracetest/client) NPM package.

For this example, I’ll showcase this simple example app for Tracetest and Sumo Logic. To quickly access the example, you can run the following:

If you get stuck along the tutorial, feel free to check out the example app in the GitHub repo, here.

It’s official! You can now use synthetic monitoring to run trace-based tests with Tracetest’s new GitHub Action. I’ve already implemented dogfooding and it’s currently running in production as health checks, running hourly, here.
