| SkyWalking: APM (application performance monitor) tool for distributed systems, |
| especially designed for microservices, cloud native and container-based (Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos) architectures. |
| Underlying technology is a distributed tracing system. |
| |
| SkyWalking provides a high performance Java agent, lets the users don't need to change any source codes for instrumentation |
| and distributed tracing. |
| At the same time, SkyWalking provides backend, including collector and UI, to aggregate, analysis metrics and traces. |
| In order to visualize the performance data, distributed traces, application topology and alarms. |
| |
| SkyWalking "Trace Data Protocol" and "Cross Process Propagation Headers Protocol" open for any other agent implementors, e.g. other language agent or SDK. You can use |
| You can use our backend to analysis and visualize your data, even can interop your agent/SDK with SkyWalking Java agent. |
| |
| SkyWalking backend can be used for other language agent/SDKs, it doesn't design just for Java. |
