  • Patent number: 11609839
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a distributed code tracing system that provides code tracing as a service in a multi-tenant computing environment. In one embodiment, a code trace is received that is associated with a request submitted to a particular application hosted in a computing environment, where multiple applications are hosted in the computing environment. The code trace documents calls to multiple component services of the particular application in order to respond to the request. The code trace is then stored in a data store that is indexed by a unique identifier of the request.

  • Patent number: 11416374
    Abstract: Techniques for distributed tracing for batch workloads using trace linking are described. A method of distributed tracing for batch workloads using trace linking includes generating a decorator by a batch trace manager, the decorator identifying at least one first trace to be linked to at least one second trace, the at least one second trace corresponding to a message processed by a child service in a provider network, sending the decorator to a distributed tracing service in the provider network, and adding a virtual trace to a virtual trace map by the distributed tracing service, the virtual trace linking the at least one first trace and the at least one second trace.

  • Patent number: 10540259
    Abstract: A debugger core captures one or more inputs to a distributed application during live execution of the distributed application in a production environment. The debugger core applies the one or more inputs to the distributed application during replay execution of the distributed application in a debugging environment and performs debugging of the distributed application in the debugging environment.

In one embodiment, a code trace is received that is associated with a request submitted to a particular application hosted in a computing environment, where multiple applications are hosted in the computing environment. The code trace documents calls to multiple component services of the particular application in order to respond to the request. The code trace is compressed using time-based compression. The compressed code trace is then stored in a data store that is indexed by a unique identifier of the request.

  • Patent number: 10216614
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for sampling in a distributed code tracing system. A sampling service receives a segment of a code trace corresponding to a request submitted to a particular application of a plurality of applications hosted in a computing environment. The code trace documents at least one call to at least one component service of the particular application to respond to the request. The sampling service determines whether to forward the segment to a trace processing system or to discard the segment based at least in part on at least one sampling parameter.

  • Patent number: 9253185
    Abstract: In accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention there is at least a method and an apparatus to perform the method of sending towards a key management device associated with an application service provider for an application, a key request for the application being booted in the cloud network; and in response to the key request, receiving an application specific key for the application, where the key is based on multiple factors associated with the application server. Further, there is at least a method and an apparatus to perform the method of receiving a key request from an application server of a cloud network for the application being booted in the cloud network; in response to the key request, authenticating the request using multiple attributes associated with the application server; and sending an application specific key for the application towards the application server.
