2019 02 in Zipkin
Created by Adrian Cole, last modified on Mar 05, 2019
February was a catch-up month after a January packed with face to face meetings. One interesting update was Hotels.com site document, telling the story about their transition from a Zipkin backend to Haystack while still using our instrumentation libraries. Many of us spent time on ASF procedure, on a first release of the brave-karaf project. This led to some process improvements and a new release verification tool led by Zoltán. Another interesting development was a pure Kafka backend by Jorge. While an experiment, this allows more flexibility such as streaming aggregation and worth a look if you are Kafka inclined. We also added a Ruby example to help people get started with tools like Sinatra. Finally, the zipkin server prepares for a March release that includes a Lens preview button. Watch for that!
