Thanks for sharing your insights! I agree that having a good tracing system is essential for modern engineering practices. Skywalking is indeed an interesting choice with a decent feature set, especially given its open-source nature and support for various integrations.

I would love to hear more about your experience with it. Have you explored any other tools, like Grafana OSS? Grafana has a robust stack that many find easy to set up using Docker or Docker Compose.
