Keynote: Distributed Tracing - The Struggle is Real - Ian Smith, Chronosphere

In 2010, Google published a paper describing how they implemented distributed tracing internally. 12 years later, we’ve made limited progress on widespread implementation of this technology, despite near universal agreement that distributed tracing has the potential to solve many of the challenges brought on by cloud native. Despite our best efforts, few companies have fully implemented distributed tracing and even fewer engineering organizations utilize it with confidence. In this session, we’ll explore where organizations are getting stuck with distributed tracing and how they can overcome these obstacles. To drive broader adoption of distributed tracing, we need a new approach.
