A big part of our journey is trying to learn the different ways people generate, collect and then retrieve context, so we really appreciate you sharing how you're doing it - thanks! Am I right in understanding that you have a two-part approach: Sentry with simply messages and all variables up the call stack + Honeycomb/OT spans. What do you collect with the spans?
Regarding the platform, transparently, it's early days for us and we're focusing on vanilla structured logs (generating better ones and then later storing them efficiently in something like ClickHouse), rather than tracing. Are there particular things you'd expect to see from a platform like this?
- benjaminfh 2y agoGoing to double tap my own reply here and come back to the OTel peice. Do you find there's a lot of effort required in adding attributes to spans through your code? A lot of people we speak to who are all-in on tracing are (we think) getting by with minimal/auto span implementation, without attributes. We're trying to keep digging and learning about how this looks at different orgs / figure out if this approach holds as systems get more complex. Would our workflow as applied to adding attributes and messages to spans be useful to you?
