Release recap for Uptrace v1.6 featuring service graphs, Prometheus remote write, the Grafana Prometheus data source, annotations, and other platform improvements.

The Uptrace team is pleased to present the latest v1.6 release, which adds support for service graphs, Prometheus remote write, Grafana data source for Prometheus, annotations, and much more. Service Graphs provide a visual representation of service interactions, dependencies, and performance metrics. They are built by analyzing span relationships and require certain span attributes. Starting with the v1.6 release, Uptrace natively supports Prometheus Remote Write protocol, which allows Prometheus to send its collected metrics data to a long-term storage solution such as Uptrace. The configuration above allows to send Prometheus data directly to Uptrace without using OpenTelemetry Collector…from uptrace.dev

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
