  • Enhancing API Observability Series (Part 3): Tracing
    3 projects | dev.to | 19 Mar 2024
    When choosing distributed tracing tools, considerations include your technology stack, business requirements, and monitoring complexity. Zipkin, SkyWalking, and OpenTelemetry are popular distributed tracing solutions, each with its unique features.
  • The Road to GraphQL At Enterprise Scale
    6 projects | dev.to | 8 Nov 2023
    From the perspective of the realization of GraphQL infrastructure, the interesting direction is "Finding". How to find the problem? How to find the bottleneck of the system? Distributed Tracing System (DTS) will help answer this question. Distributed tracing is a method of observing requests as they propagate through distributed environments. In our scenario, we have dozens of subgraphs, gateway, and transport layer through which the request goes. We have several tools that can be used to detect the whole lifecycle of the request through the system, e.g. Jaeger, Zipkin or solutions that provided DTS as a part of the solution NewRelic.

    > IMO the reason these vendors can and do charge so much is not because telemetry software is hard.

    I always saw it as "they are charging for their polished UI/experience"

    The UI of https://zipkin.io/ versus DataDog is kind of... not really in the same ballpark?
