this is cool! Does this only collect logs from frontend? Or it can also collect the backend and DB latency data related to a frontend interaction?

#12Can this be used as a pen-testing tool to Highlight-TraceRt through a {target url}?

Yeah, though what benefits would surmise a Shopify Shop Keeper could get from your service, or do you think this is a tool that Shopify Corporate should be using on their hosting infra?

#15Fyi, in the readme, the screenshot for the logs is the same as for the traces. I wanted to see the traces, so that was confusing.

Our browser client would help with tracing what network requests are being made by said apps since it would capture all network requests. However, Shopify may restrict what our browser client can do in your frontend store (I'm guessing that the 3rd party apps are added to a shop as iframes or are otherwise sandboxed).

#18Sorry to be that guy , but the monospace font stack used for e.g. logs is... not optimal for Windows: IBM Plex Mono,Menlo,DejaVu Sans Mono,Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,Courier,monospace ...will end up being "Courier" and that's not good in any way, shape or form. Consolas, Cascadia Code|Mono, even Lucida [Sans] Console are much nicer, and would spruce up the Safari experience for some segment of your audience. Plus, not…
Sorry about that. Will relay this to the team. We're mostly a mac shop, but definitely hear you.

Some additional thoughts. For Shopify store owners, they can definitely install Highlight if they have access to the site that they're hosting (we have some customers in this space!). This can help with optimizing their user experience, etc.. For our tracing SDKs in particular, they would only really work if the shopify developers have their own proprietary code running, however, because this requires application ins…
Please, maybe have some success cases with a "how to implement on your shopify" page?

#20I clicked into the demo (reference 3 in your post) and I dont get how this is different from any off the shelf OTel solution like Lightstep or Jaeger. Otel already has client side vendors and SDKs (I was the engineer who introduced OpenTracing to Plaid, and we did both). Bridging cross-network traces is literally the point of OTel, so Im not sure why thats a differentiator for you… every system does it.
