Products that do what TraceLens Visualizing Distributed Systems does
TraceLens is a new user interface and data collector for OpenTelemetry-based systems. Although there are existing tools like Jaeger and Zipkin that offer some visualization capabilities, I wanted a solution that could provide a deeper level of insight. TraceLens is not designed for production environments, but as a debugging tool to help developers better understand the intricacies of their systems. Key features are detailed component diagrams. and sequence diagrams.

Project Page: https://rotel.dev Github: https://github.com/streamfold/rotel Hi HN, Ray and Mike here! We’re building Rotel, a new high performance, resource efficient approach to OpenTelemetry collection. Rotel is open source (Apache License 2.0) and runs as a standalone process and collects telemetry from external processes or other collection agents. It consumes 75% less memory and 50% less CPU in benchmarks https://streamfold.github.io/rotel-otel-loadtests/benchmarks, so it is particularly well-suited for environments where resource…

Hi HN, I thought it would be fun to plot a traceroute on a map to visually see the path packets take. I know this idea has been done before, but I still wanted to scratch that itch. The first version just let you paste in a traceroute and it would plot the hops on a map. Later I discovered Globalping (https://globalping.io), which allows you to run traceroutes and MTRs from probes around the world, so I integrated that into the tool. From playing around with it, I noticed a few interesting things: • It's very easy to spot incorrect IP geolocation. If a hop shows 1–2 ms latency but…

I just launched http://teamzones.io, a project I had been working on during weekends that attempts to solve a problem I've run into as a member of a remote team: keeping track of _when_ people are working in relation to yourself is a pain. Since this is hacker news and some of you might find this interesting, the stack is: * Go on AppEngine on the backend * Elm on the frontend And here's a breakdown of the source code: ~/s/g/s/teamzones (master)> cloc --exclude-dir=node_modules,vendor,static,elm-stuff,elm.js,index.html . 158 text files. 156 unique files. 48…
