Excited to see this! Congrats on the launch.

I just use Goodreads to keep track of what I read so I can go back and see some highlights from certain kindle books that I've semi-forgotten. I dislike their goals in terms of "bo…

Sorry if I'm not using the right terminology here. By layers, I'm talking about the different places from where you're emitting spans - like in your example, the UI, prompt-embeddi…

Congrats on the launch! This is really cool. Would love to see OTel integration in the future. I'm curious if this might eventually work with request-context based routing, i.e. be…

Hah! this was cool to discover.

Developer environments become slow to spin up and expensive to maintain with many microservices. We’ve built a new kind of dev environment that uses traffic labeling (using OpenTel…

This is an interesting issue that I've also seen across many companies - often even leading to low usage of these slow-to-bring-up environments. At relatively smaller scale, I can …

Thanks for the question. Anirudh here. Firstly, there isn't always a need to isolate everything by default - in some cases, the testing being done may / application layer entities …

Thank you! :)

Thanks for the kind words!

Makes sense. I have seen a couple of instances of this pattern - with service dependencies being stitched together using configuration. Thanks for sharing!

Ah, the primary use-case here is for developers to test microservices as changes are made to them - so one would typically be running this setup in pre-production / staging only an…

I was just about to post this :) Depending on the request context (typically a set of headers), a request will end up going to one of baseline service A or A’, but never both. Depe…

Thanks for the question. At a high level, vcluster and sandboxes can be used to create environments within k8s. The approach we take with sandboxes is different in that it optimize…

Thank you! We're really excited about covering the entire dev lifecycle using this approach. Re: routing, do you make use of a library that is directly included in each service? We…

We've been working on some concept docs at https://docs.signadot.com/docs/concepts . Please let me know if it could use more detail on anything!

Thanks! The biggest lesson for us has been in finding the balance between being opinionated v/s being flexible in the abstractions we build. I think it's easy to go too far in eith…
