  • Determining a distributed system topology from a single application deployment
    Patent number: 11893369
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a topology of an application deployment on a distributed system can include receiving multiple traces of requests within an application, where the application includes multiple components. They can also include determining a number of times that each span between the components is traversed by a trace and associating each span with a corresponding weight reflecting the number of times that the span is traversed. Such systems and methods can further include selecting a deployment scenario based on the respective weights of each of the spans.
