Would live to see that integrated with zerorpc! http://github.com/dotcloud/zerorpc-python

dotCloud has an internal tracing tool called zerotracer, but we don't yet have a visualization layer...

I'm working on writing up how to add tracing to a library/protocol. Should be in the readme later today.

Nice! Zerorpc has a middleware system, too, so it should be super easy to add.

Is that the Turkish word "Zıpkın" (harpoon)?

obilgic• 14 years ago

I guess.

just checked the commit history, no one is turkish there. Possibly git history might have been cleared before making it public.

We came up with the name by putting all kinds of words into Google translate and making sure they weren't trademarked. Zipkin seemed short and sweet and wasn't widely used before.

Well, the logo of the project is a harpoon, so it's a safe bet.

Zipkin -> Harpoon -> whale-killing
