Tracing in Beta: Another Layer of Visibility in Your Applications

Highlight has introduced a new Tracing product, expanding its use of telemetry data beyond logging to include detailed code execution insights, integrated with session replay, errors, and logs. This enhancement, built on OpenTelemetry and Clickhouse, provides developers with greater visibility into application performance by adding instrumentation to key code paths, facilitating the identification of codebase hotspots, errors, and performance bottlenecks. The tracing feature allows users to analyze API handlers and other components to understand execution times and errors, enabling data-driven decisions to optimize performance and user experience. Highlight plans to further develop telemetry capabilities, with future updates expected to include metrics support, while currently encouraging users to explore and provide feedback on the new Tracing functionality.
