This was the most important question we considered when building our infrastructure because data sampling policy dictates the amount of traces that are recorded, transported, and stored. Our engineering teams tuned their services for performance after factoring in increased resource utilization due to tracing.

This is basically the position of the major cloud providers, they will all take care of it for you by 2030 or so. Buildings, food and transport have a much bigger carbon footprint than IT globally. I’ve written before about how to tune out retry storms. But you want to *do something* to help sooner.

There are services at Netflix that use RDBMS kind of databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL via AWS RDS. The database is sending them to a transport that DBLog can consume. We use the term ‘ change log’ for that transport. Proceedings of the Third ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing. Supporting Relational Databases.
