Stackdriver Trace [1] is Google's external implementation of Dapper with additional analysis features. It's available for free, even for workloads not running on Google Cloud Platform.

- tonyhb 10y agoThis is awesome! Can Google update the docs so that the links for external zipkin integrations work? They currently link in circles and there's no info on how to integrate into OpenTracing/Zipkin
- mmclean 10y agoUh oh - are you referring to the docs on GitHub or the actual docs site (https://cloud.google.com/trace/docs/zipkin https://cloud.google.com/trace/docs/zipkin)?
- mmclean 10y agoNevermind, I think we found it. Fixing now.
- tonyhb 10y agoThis part: https://cloud.google.com/trace/docs/zipkin#configure_zipkin_tracers https://cloud.google.com/trace/docs/zipkin#configure_zipkin_... It doesn't show zipkin configuration :)
- mmclean 10y agoYep, an issue with the anchor links that'll be updated soon. It's supposed to just link to a lower part of the page. If you scroll down you'll see a top-level header also titled "Configure Zipkin tracers" that describes how to configure the Brave tracer. You don't really need to do anything special here - just point your Zipkin tracers at the Stackdriver Zipkin Collector rather than your existing one.
- giovannibonetti 10y agoSince you work on Stackdriver, could you explain to me how did the pricing change last week? Previously I thought $8/instance/month was expensive, but it seems like now there is a cheaper basic tier. What is a good use case for the basic tier and when will I need the premium?
