When compared to Jaeger, Hypertrace gives you API first and entity focused view. Which means, You can see list of API's in your system, slice and dice on various attributes in your API traces, you can also do similar for Services and backends. There's dedicated dashboard for every service, API and backend which gives you metrics like latency, calls, error rate along with health radar. And did I even started talking about explorer? It let's you slice and dice on your trace data as well as span data and also provides you real-time visualizations. Hypertrace has a richer and more enterprise level functionality when it comes to Distributed tracing. We are adding more features as we are talking including alerting, application metrics support which makes it more of an API Observability tool which can satisfy more wider range of use-cases. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions and we will be happy to address those: https://github.com/hypertrace/hypertrace https://github.com/hypertrace/hypertrace

Those are nice features, indeed. The community license may require clarification. It says the following: For example, it does not allow hosting of Hypertrace Metrics, Application Flow, Advanced Slice & Dice or other software licensed under the Traceable Community License as online service offerings that compete with Traceable SaaS products or services that provide the same software. If you are not doing what is excluded, this license will not affect you. The part "Traceable SaaS products or services that provide the same software" seems deceptively simple yet it's vague. My interpretation would be the following: if I operate a PaaS, regardless of the primary function of this PaaS, where tracing plays a complimentary role, stay away from CL items as any platform with Hypertrace in it "provides same software". Are you in a position to clarify?

  Yup, your interpretation is correct. Basically, if you want to use Community edition for internal purpose at your organization, it's completely available but you can't sell a product built on top of Hypertrace which will compete with any Traceable SaaS product, in any way.
