Lightstep is pretty cool and will show you something like a stack trace across systems, with timings, but it's not for free (monetarily, or dev cost to integrate it into your stack)

Yes, I see. I tried to understand their pricing. 10,000 active time series? Does that mean it will store and let me view 10k top level API calls for their fee? 10k separate services? I don't quite understand how this maps to actual use.

$100/service. Is that top level service? To cover a 100 endpoints at one service each is going to be 10k/mo?

I believe the 10k time series is how many complete end to end traces (across multiple services) it will store at once. Lightstep has settings where you set sample rate, retention, which traces you want to collect etc.

I believe $100/service is top level service, not endpoint. But really not sure.
