What's the background on the project? Is it used in production somewhere? Why was it just made open source?

Just read on their github page that it is not ready for production use.

Any reason why this isn't just using OpenTelemetry?

I keep in mind OT solutions and it is possible that their functionality will be used in development of another SDKs

It looks like this is more a replacement for Jaeger than OTel.

You can export Jaeger traces via OTel as well. I am assuming the question here is why is there a different SDK rather than just re-using the standardized OTel APIs + libs for tracing and then providing a simple exporter for Traceo.

Interesting project! Good to see a possible alternative to Sentry in the foreseeable future.

Personally, I have "Sentry but serverless" on my idea list, but I think it will never be realised. And now I have another reason not to start it, because it will definitely be uglier than your really nice dashboard. :)

I would be curious to hear what that looks like in practice :)

Uh, nice, but the demo page is not loading. Anyway looks quite similar to Grafana!

I would say this is more like a Sentry replacement?

pqb in one of the comments used the term "Sentry but serverless" which is quite accurate, but there is a plan to offer a number of other functionalities that we will not find in Sentry, e.g. collecting metrics or application logs, and all on a lightweight UI

Demo linked in the "about" section on GitHub would be more inviting with a TLS cert.

You're right. This will be fixed and the demo URL will be available again.

The API isn't Sentry compatible, right? So existing Sentry libraries can't be used and every language needs to have on open Tracro client library, right?

ps_net3 lata temu

exactly, support for other languages (at the moment support is only for NodeJS) will be added in the near future. SDKs for Go and Python are planned first, as well as support for some UI frameworks such as React or Vue
