Top 10 Go distributed-tracing Projects

In this episode, we’ll integrate OpenTelemetry with our ASP.NET minimal API and trace everything from database calls to cache hits — all visualized in Jaeger. We’ll also learn how to spot inefficiencies, validate cache behavior, and instrument our code for insights.

coroot
Coroot is an open-source APM & Observability tool, a DataDog and NewRelic alternative. Metrics, logs, traces, continuous profiling, and SLO-based alerting, supercharged with predefined dashboards and inspections.
I'm currently working with Coroot, which is an open source project trying to create a solution for this issue of logs and other telemetry sources being too much for any team to reasonably have time to parse manually. Data is automatically imported using eBPF and Coroot will provide insights into RCA (with things like mapped incident time-frames) to help with anything overlooked in dumps.
GitHub here - hope the tool can help some folks in this thread! https://github.com/coroot/coroot
