I’ve been playing with a lot of development work flow tools over the last few weeks. I was an early adopter of Docker and have always been passionate about reducing friction in the development process, especially locally. Quick performance wins for individual developers add up to substantial productivity improvements across a whole team. I’ve been interested in how these tools are evolving, as we expand beyond the basic tools Docker provided with containers.

Over the last month, I’ve been testing distributed tracing frameworks and tools. For a long time now I’ve been deeply interested in seeing how the state of the art of tracing is evolving. I am especially interested in how long before it is something that more people can use without requiring deep knowledge and that they can quickly find useful. Reactions on this topic tend to be varied and divergent. There’s still a strong sense that tracing is an enormous investment with potentially limited returns for many organizations.
