-Package event contains functionality related to APM event extraction from traces.
-
-APM Events constitute the core of Datadog's Trace Search functionality. These are, in a nutshell, individual spans
-containing important information (but not full trace tree) about an execution and which can therefore be sampled at a
-different rate (retaining greater cardinality than that of complete traces). Furthermore, all information in APM events
-can be indexed, allowing for very flexible searching.
-
-For instance, consider a web server. The top-level span on traces from this web server likely contains interesting
-things such as customer/user id, IPs, HTTP tags, HTTP endpoint, among others. By extracting this top level span from
-each trace, converting it into an APM event and feeding it into trace search, you can potentially search and aggregate
-this information for all requests arriving at your web server. You couldn't do the same thing with traces because these
-capture entire execution trees which are much more expensive to process and store and are therefore heavily sampled.
-
-Of course, if the trace from which APM events were extracted also survives sampling, you can easily see the execution
-tree associated with a particular APM event as this link is kept throughout the entire processing pipeline.
