ThinkingElixir 142 - Orion for Distributed Tracing in Production
Orion is an interesting library created by Thomas Depierre that makes it easy to run dynamic distributed tracing in your app on production! It includes a LiveView UI for visualizing the performance and running multiple traces simultaneously. We talk with Thomas to learn more about the history, the inspirations, how it works, why it’s safe to run in production, how to get performance insights, and more!
