Coralogix highlights the importance of tracing as a key component of modern observability strategies, with many organizations now processing billions of spans daily. By leveraging OpenTelemetry OTLP traces, Coralogix offers a vendorless tracing solution that enables efficient analysis of large-scale span data to identify cross-cutting patterns and insights. The introduction of trace highlight comparisons allows users to detect and analyze trends and deviations within trace spans and real user monitoring events over time, providing a powerful tool for identifying infrastructure errors, slow-running AWS Lambda functions, bot detection, and regional performance degradation. This approach empowers users to identify and address issues more effectively by offering high-performance, pre-computed comparisons and insights into their telemetry data, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and reliability of distributed systems.
