Traceo is now open source

What's the background on the project? Is it used in production somewhere? Why was it just made open source?

Just read on their github page that it is not ready for production use.

Any reason why this isn't just using OpenTelemetry?

I keep in mind OT solutions and it is possible that their functionality will be used in development of another SDKs

It looks like this is more a replacement for Jaeger than OTel.

Interesting project! Good to see a possible alternative to Sentry in the foreseeable future.

Personally, I have "Sentry but serverless" on my idea list, but I think it will never be realised. And now I have another reason not to start it, because it will definitely be uglier than your really nice dashboard. :)

I would be curious to hear what that looks like in practice :)

Uh, nice, but the demo page is not loading. Anyway looks quite similar to Grafana!

I would say this is more like a Sentry replacement?

Demo linked in the "about" section on GitHub would be more inviting with a TLS cert.

You're right. This will be fixed and the demo URL will be available again.

The API isn't Sentry compatible, right? So existing Sentry libraries can't be used and every language needs to have on open Tracro client library, right?

exactly, support for other languages (at the moment support is only for NodeJS) will be added in the near future. SDKs for Go and Python are planned first, as well as support for some UI frameworks such as React or Vue
