Distributed tracing company LightStep has released a new product based on the same technology as its high-end [x]PM product. Called simply LightStep Tracing, the tool is aimed at individual teams rather than entire organisations, and helps them to understand exactly what's going on in their complex modern applications. LightStep Tracing takes the same technology underpinnings as the [x]PM product and packages it for use by smaller teams, rather than entire organisations. It's delivered as Software-as-a-Service managed by LightStep, freeing teams to concentrate on using tracing rather than administering tracing infrastructure. LightStep Tracing aggregates information from the raw trace data it collects to identify trends and correlations that are difficult to find when manually inspecting individual traces.
