TraceDB
Observability platform aimed at overhauling root-cause analysis. It works with OpenTelemetry tracing to piece together what failed, where a failure started, and how it spread, and the builder reports near-100% root-cause accuracy on synthetic test data while seeking validation on real production workloads.
What it addresses
Existing observability setups charge a premium to index millions of near-identical spans, sample away the rare spans that might explain an outage, and still leave engineers to manually piece together what failed, where it started, and how it spread.

“I’m building TraceDB[1] because I think observability needs an overhaul. We pay a premium to index millions of near-identical spans, sample away the rare ones that might explain an outage, and still have to piece together what failed, where it started, and how it spread.”
