What do you use distributed tracing for? We have DataDog but only use metrics (no APM) and I don't really see what justifies the high price compared to Prometheus/Grafana. I have investigated introducing distributed tracing with Istio and Jaeger but right now it doesn't seem that useful to me.
- darkr 6y agoWe have hundreds of services, mostly written in Scala, instrumented with Kamon for tracing. In a complex distributed architecture with many teams and changes happening multiple times per hour, distributed tracing is vital for troubleshooting and understanding what is happening.
