Hi, this looks really nice as an alternative to Sentry. May I ask why the Docker-based setup requires Go, Node and Yarn on the host machine? I find it unfortunate that I have to install such non-standard tools on a machine to be able to run a setup that is based on Docker. This makes the whole setup way more complicated than it should be.

I can confirm shortly, but I believe you don’t actually need those installed locally. That might be a mistake in our docs! Have you tried the docker setup without those tools?

(Im on mobile- sorry for the brevity/lack of deep demo context, it seems like the demo links dont work super gracefully on mobile) I 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-ne…

The difference is that we also expose what the user is interacting with when these traces get fired. Perhaps on mobile your aren't able to view that?

No not yet, but the scripts in the docker directory have several steps involving both go and Node. Guess it's scripts for setting up the Docker stuff?

Might I suggest a complementary future feature set of load testing?

We've thought of that briefly. You're essentially asking for some sort of synthetic monitoring right?

Definitely something we're thinking of. If you have any particular requirements, we're all ears.
