Ask HN: AWS XRay, App Mesh and Alternatives – Experiences and Recommendations?

1 pointsby GRBurstover 3 years ago
What are you experiences and recommendations for distributed tracing (e.g. with aws xray) and service meshes (e.g. aws app mesh)?<p>There are a few tools for distributed tracing in the cloud, e.g. XRay (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aws.amazon.com&#x2F;xray&#x2F;) from aws itself or open-source projects like Jaeger (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jaegertracing.io&#x2F;) and Zipkin (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;zipkin.io&#x2F; ).<p>Do you have experiences with any service in this category? Are they worth it or should I avoid the complexity as long as possible? Or should I go with service meshes since they have tools to do distributed tracing in place, but may increase the complexity even more, like AWS App Mesh, Istio (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;istio.io&#x2F;latest&#x2F;), Consul (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.consul.io&#x2F;) or Linkerd (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linkerd.io&#x2F;).<p>What do you use? What do you recommend?
