  • jaeger

    CNCF Jaeger, a Distributed Tracing Platform

  • git clone https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger.git

  • helm-charts

    Prometheus community Helm charts

  • Next, we install Prometheus, Loki, and Grafana. The Prometheus Operator Helm chart (kube-prometheus-stack) will install Prometheus and Grafana. Loki Helm chart (loki-stack) will install Loki and Promtail. This post provides more details about log monitoring with Loki.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • opentracing-javascript

    Discontinued OpenTracing API for Javascript (both Node and browser). 🛑 This library is DEPRECATED! https://github.com/opentracing/specification/issues/163

  • OpenTracing comprises an API specification, frameworks, and libraries to enable distributed tracing in any application. OpenTracing APIs are very generic and prevents vendor/product lock-in. Recently, OpenTracing and OpenCensus merged to form OpenTelemetry (acronym OTel). It targets the creation and management of telemetry data such as traces, metrics, and logs through a set of APIs, SDKs, tooling, and integrations. Note: OpenCensus consists of a set of libs for various languages to collect metrics and traces from Applications, visualize them locally and send them remotely for storage and analysis.
