Now let’s look at how we designed the tracing infrastructure that powers Edgar. Troubleshooting a session in Edgar When we started building Edgar four years ago, there were very few open-source distributed tracing systems that satisfied our needs. Mantis is our go-to platform for processing operational data at Netflix.
