I think... the kind where you assemble a beginning to end view of a request and all the micro services it hits by crawling through log files.

- twic 6y agoI interpret this as meaning that this is only a challenge for the kind of over-scale systems that only a handful of companies have. You could be a pretty significant online retailer (Asos, say), run everything on a few instances of a monolith, and have all your information in easily interpretable log files, without needing to reach for distributed tracing tools.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoYeah, this tends to be more of an issue for consumer-grade internet services (where the majority of users are not customers). Again, these tools are incredibly useful when you have a distributed system, and kinda pointless otherwise.
- foota 6y agoNot really log files as I'm familiar with them. More structured. At least in the implementation I'm familiar with.
