  • b3-propagation

    Repository that describes and sometimes implements B3 propagation

    (Note that OpenTelemetry uses, by default, the W3C context propagation specification, while Istio uses the B3 context propagation specification – this can be modified).

  • trace-context-w3c

    W3C Trace Context purpose of and what kind of problem it came to solve.

    (Note that OpenTelemetry uses, by default, the W3C context propagation specification, while Istio uses the B3 context propagation specification – this can be modified).

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

  • istio

    Connect, secure, control, and observe services.

    Getting started with OpenTelemetry can be a challenge as it requires a lot of knowledge. Having a high entry point effort, it seems like a good idea to set up Istio to produce distributed traces because the setup is relatively fast and simple.
