Hi, sorry for not responding sooner this one slipped through the cracks. I've tried to explain my reasons for starting traceway and what I've been building with it. It's not aimed to be the fastest ingestion tool out there, but it's backed by clickhouse and does minimal processing of the data, you can expect the perf to be as close to clickhouse as possible.

I'm working on a comprehensive benchmark of Traceway performance on different hardware configurations. The most I've tested with was the smallest managed ch instance with 250k traces per sec, handled it without a hiccup (but that's empirical). You can checkout the traceway git, there is an issue I've opened for benchmarking and you can subscribe/comment on it if you're interested. I'm benchmarking across sqlite, self hosted clickhouse and managed clickhouse. I am a huge fan of systematic, realistic and most of all reproducible benchmarks, so I am really excited about the progress on that.

Anyhow, you can checkout traceway and see what it offers, it's aimed at providing SLOs out of the box, session replays, alerting, configurable dashboards and great exception tracking (automatic symbolication) etc...
