  • > it was hard to even figure out where in their codebase the API calls were being made from.

    Could this have been working around with https://www.jaegertracing.io/? That was one of the requirements at the organization I worked out.

    We didn't go as far as to block traffic if the request didn't have a parent span (which included the service name calling it) but if it became a problem I'm sure we could have/would have done that (like 200+ microservices for fintec/banking across like 10-15 teams) and figured out pretty quickly in CAT/UAT/QA environment what wasn't passing a span.
