Great talk Joe!

[@juggernaut1680]

awesome !)

[@CrashLaker]

how do you set logs like in 17:38?

[@necroowl3953]

With Loki. Both Loki and Tempo are grafana plug-ins for logging and tracing respectively

[@Im_Ninooo]

2 years later, is searching functionality still restricted to TraceID only?

[@necroowl3953]

No, you have TraceQL

[@ouriyanaous7963]

Yes but as I try playing with that it seems the queries are very slow, and simply not query oriented-ish.

[@kk-pi4hj]

what is the size of each trace?

[@necroowl3953]

Depends on the data you add to it but a basic span with no metadata should be serializable to about 34 or 35 bytes. 16 bytes for a trace ID. 8 bytes for a span id. 8 bytes more for a parent span id if present. The rest as delimiters (if you want to)

[@lukashk.1770]

useless video when u want to begin - it doenst explain anything

[@wqeqeqweqewqeqweqweqweqweq3011]

Yes... so simple without any practical execution

[@BeaulieuTodd]

Good lord are you a shallow thinker.

[@necroowl3953]

Because the feature wasn't yet released. It's a presentation not a tutorial
