Challenge Objectives

• Implement APM OpenTracing on the submission-processor-es.

Tech Stack

• Node.js

• Apache Kafka

Project Background

In this series of challenges, we are looking at implementing APM OpenTracing in our apps.

Code Access

Repo: https://github.com/topcoder-platform/submission-processor-es

Branch: develop

Detailed requirements

We’re looking at implementing APM OpenTracing on our apps and we’re looking at 2 different vendors.

Our 2 candidates are DataDog and Lightstep.

They both use https://www.npmjs.com/package/opentracing for instrumenting Node.js.

 

You need to check and add both DataDog and LightStep in the submission-processor-es so we can compare them.

 

If this is not possible, you can pick either DataDog or LightStep and add it to the submission-processor-es.

 

Please note that if it is possible to add both and you only add one of them, you’ll lose score.

 

You can create your own DataDog account here https://app.datadoghq.com/signup but you will find API keys for LightStep on the challenge forum.
