tracejam · v0.4

For SREs & platform engineers

Distributed tracing that explains itself.

Open the trace. Find the span that regressed. Read why — in plain text — without a glossary, a YAML diff, or a status-page hunt. The post-mortem starts in the trace, not in a doc.

step 01 · open

Open the trace, not a dashboard.

Drop a trace ID, a request URL, or a five-second time window. Tracejam pulls the spans from your collector and renders them inline — no dashboard hop, no link to Grafana, no separate logs window. The trace is the unit of work.

# by trace id
$ tracejam open 9c3a72ef

step 02 · find

Find the regressed span.

Tracejam ranks spans by p99 deviation against your service's seven-day baseline. The first one in the list is almost always the problem. No filters to set; the baseline is precomputed every five minutes per service.

# top 3 regressed spans this hour
$ tracejam top --window 1h

step 03 · read

Read why, in plain text.

Each span carries an auto-generated explainer: which dependency regressed, which version of which service, which deploy correlates, the last clean run, and the diff between then and now. Plain text, copy-paste ready into a post-mortem.

# dump the explainer
$ tracejam why "pricing.quote"
