Traceax
traceax is a software framework designed to capture and analyze execution traces in distributed systems. It enables observability by recording the journey of a request across multiple services, measuring latency, and helping diagnose performance issues. The design emphasizes modularity and interoperability across languages and runtimes.
Core concepts in traceax include traces and spans. A trace represents a single request’s path through a
The typical traceax architecture comprises a collector, a processor, and a storage backend. Clients instrument applications
Interoperability is a focus of traceax. It aligns with common standards such as the OpenTelemetry data model
Use cases for traceax include performance optimization, root-cause analysis, dependency mapping, and service-level objective tracking. While
