Lightstep integrates with leading cloud-native technologies, service meshes for microservices, and enterprise data visualization and collaboration tools. These turnkey integrations make it easy to deploy Lightstep across large-scale production systems so users get the unrivaled performance insights it provides when they need it and as part of their standard, established workflows.
Instrumentation
- OpenTelemetry: OpenTelemetry is the unified initiative that takes the best of both OpenTracing and OpenCensus forward.
- OpenTracing: Lightstep tracers work with the OpenTracing API to create and send span data to the Lightstep web application. See the OpenTracing Registry for details on out-of-the-box instrumentation for common packages and frameworks.
- OpenCensus: Lightstep supports ingesting trace data from OpenCensus-instrumented applications via exporters.
- Jaeger Agent: Lightstep can ingest data directly from a Jaeger Agent.
- Zipkin: Lightstep can ingest data directly from Zipkin.
- Chisel: A tooling library that comes with Lightstep and OpenTracing built in, that works with Pedestal (a popular Clojure libraries for building APIs).
Service Meshes / Proxies
These service mesh providers support Lightstep tracers to create, collect, and send span data to Lightstep
- Istio: Istio is an easy way to get quick visibility into service performance and availability.
- Envoy: Envoy supports pluggable external tracers that report to Lightstep.
- NGINX: You can enable OpenTracing and Lightstep tracers for requests served by NGINX.
- AWS App Mesh: App Mesh supports third-party tools that work with Envoy, including Lightstep tracers.
