ObjectZIA Traces the Slow Hop
An OpenTelemetry-native distributed tracing product for finding latency, errors, and unhealthy dependencies across microservices.
Field notes
The product’s proposed workflow starts with an OpenTelemetry collector export rather than a proprietary monitoring agent. Its example checkout trace contains six spans across five services, totals 142ms, and attributes 50ms to a PostgreSQL query. The described monitoring layer adds p50/p95/p99 views by service and endpoint, dependency-health mapping, and alerts tied to error-rate or latency SLOs, with routing to PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Slack, or webhooks.
