- gwillen 15y agoI am one of the people listed in the acknowledgements at the end of that paper, for having done work on Dapper when I was at Google. It's nice to see HN taking an interest in it -- Dapper is a very cool system.
- jamesaguilar 15y agoHonestly Dapper is magnificent to use and it would be much harder to debug distributed requests without it. Does anything like this exist in the outside world?

- mkramlich 15y agoThere was something very similar to Dapper in use inside Orbitz at least as far back as 2008, perhaps earlier (I used to work there, but don't recall exact years/months offhand.) So, outside and possibly before Google? Yes. As a FOSS project? Dunno. If not there should be.
- tonyarkles 15y agoIf you're looking to roll your own, you might want to look into the work done with X-Trace. Also, my M.Sc. thesis is focusing on doing distributed event tracing for web applications. I'm not sure if I'll end up open-sourcing it or not, but some of the work has been published http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1958783 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1958783
