Comment on Show HN: An open source performance monitoring tool

Comments

(Im on mobile- sorry for the brevity/lack of deep demo context, it seems like the demo links dont work super gracefully on mobile)

I clicked into the demo (reference 3 in your post) and I dont get how this is different from any off the shelf OTel solution like Lightstep or Jaeger. Otel already has client side vendors and SDKs (I was the engineer who introduced OpenTracing to Plaid, and we did both). Bridging cross-network traces is literally the point of OTel, so Im not sure why thats a differentiator for you… every system does it.

The difference is that we also expose what the user is interacting with when these traces get fired. Perhaps on mobile your aren't able to view that?
