Dashbird vs TraceView: What are the differences?

What is Dashbird? Monitoring and troubleshooting for serverless applications. Dashbird gives full visibility into serverless architectures. Failure detection, monitoring and debugging capabilities for AWS Lambda and event sources. Get up and running in 5 minutes without any performance overhead or code changes.

What is TraceView? Ridiculously Detailed Application Monitoring. Expose everything, from the webserver to database, cache and API calls. The core technology is based on X-Trace, a distributed tracing framework that’s served as the inspiration for companies like Google and Twitter.

Dashbird and TraceView can be primarily classified as "Performance Monitoring" tools.

Some of the features offered by Dashbird are:

• Monitoring
• Alerting
• Full text search

On the other hand, TraceView provides the following key features:

• Track every machine involved in a transaction and identify bottlenecks in a single click.
• Isolate interesting calls and drill down to the line of code and machine it ran on.
• Tie together code and infrastructure metrics with database, service, and cache calls, all in the context of a single transaction.
