Summary

Datadog has announced support for OpenTracing, an open standard for distributed tracing. The company's Go tracer now supports OpenTracing, with other tracing clients to follow soon. As part of its commitment to open source, Datadog is joining the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and the OpenTracing Specification Council. OpenTracing provides APIs in several languages that can be used to log request spans to a number of pluggable backends. By adopting the OpenTracing standard, customers can benefit from vendor-neutral instrumentation without concern for vendor lock-in or costly code changes in the future.
