Summary

Don't observe, debug.` This phrase is at the heart of the approach to building observability tooling, which aims to help developers take action and solve bugs, errors, and issues. The new spans-first tracing model makes it easier to query critical information like database queries and network requests, allowing for faster diagnosis and resolution of problems. A redesigned Trace View provides full visibility of application requests from frontend to backend and across services, giving developers the context they need to debug issues efficiently. With metrics and custom tags available in the Trace View, developers can get a more complete picture of their application's performance and behavior. By actively seeking feedback and iterating on these features, the goal is to create a powerful tool that helps developers solve problems quickly and effectively.
