Abstract: In order to prevent stamps or indicia from being forged and in order to bill a logistics service between different postal service providers correctly to the user, a computer-implemented method for franking postal articles is implemented. The article's progress is recorded by readers and, together with the accompanying franking identification, is stored in blocks of a blockchain as a transaction. In doing so, the assignment of the readers to a postal service provider is recorded. The logistics service provided is billed correctly to the user by analyzing the transactions stored in the blockchain that are to be allocated to at least one postal service provider.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for trace management in a distributed computing environment are described. A trace manager receives a request to analyze a trace of a series of calls between applications serving requests in a microservice architecture. The trace manager determines metrics including, for example, latency information and start time for the series of calls. The trace manager presents the metrics in association with log entries correlated to the series of calls. A call stack, or one or more latency indicators, provides a user interface of selecting one or more calls. A user selection of a particular call in the call stack or a latency indicator causes one or more corresponding log entries to be emphasized or filtered. The call stack and the one or more latency indicators can have various display configurations.
