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.
