Now let’s look at how we designed the tracing infrastructure that powers Edgar. This insight led us to build Edgar: a distributed tracing infrastructure and user experience. Our tactical approach was to use Netflix-specific libraries for collecting traces from Java-based streaming services until open source tracer libraries matured.

At Dynatrace, where we provide a software intelligence platform for hybrid environments (from infrastructure to cloud) we see a growing need to measure how mainframe architecture and the services running on it contribute to the overall performance and availability of applications. Full-stack and cloud-infrastructure monitoring modes.

Prodicle Distribution Our service is required to be elastic and handle bursty traffic. In late 2019, our team started integrating it with the rest of the ecosystem by writing a thin Java Domain graph service (DGS) to wrap the asynchronous watermarking functionality that was then in Ruby on Rails.

Adding to the complexity, many of the checklist items themselves had a variety of different options to fulfill them (“new apps do this , but legacy apps do that”; “Java apps should use this approach , but Ruby apps should try one of these four things”… yes, there were flowcharts inside checklists.

Nonetheless, we found a number of limitations that could not satisfy our requirements e.g. stalling the processing of log events until a dump is complete, missing ability to trigger dumps on demand, or implementations that block write traffic by using table locks. Blocking write traffic by locking tables. Writing events to any output.
