@garybernhardt I think a big part of this is because how hard it is to train and update a decent embedding model that works better for your actual data and domain than just plain text and associated tools
So there's two things: the broken state of OpenTelemetry auto instrumentation in the (I'm assuming) JS ecosystem (which may be valid, but also an opportunity as a vendor), and the net value proposition of Tracing.
Tracing done right should be a way to organizationally go an abstraction layer above the behavior of your specific code / system, and provide full context for a given workload.
Proper instrumentation should allow everyone to think in terms of all running services and their live behaviors / interactions for a given workload rather than a pile of information to be sorted through and filtered like logs, which usually require system specific knowledge to be maximally useful.
@trishankkarthik He comes home to men stealing his wealth, harassing his wife, and actively trying to kill his kid. He arrives in disguise to assess the situation before revealing himself. Odysseus is a thinking and strategizing hero first.
@antirez Man there used to be this really cool place called the market where you could make a bet on the gap between what companies promised and what reality decided.
@Afinetheorem@InsiderTakes The problem is that this line of thinking assumes the future will look like the past. This year has been a terribly volatile business environment in the United States in ways that feel like they’re accelerating.
