TraceViewWhat is TraceView?
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.
TraceView is a tool in the Performance Monitoring category of a tech stack.
