Thinking instead of “context” it should be named “empathy”. Seems like every technology operates as a closed world identity provider, and yet no tech is sufficient to provide a complete system in isolation.
Distributed tracing is hard because you need to share.
Replying to @danieljyoo
I don’t know, but that seems like a good place for innovation.
Beyond user identity, even artifact identity. How do SemVer, SHAs, and container:latest relate?
Replying to @danieljyoo
I don’t think so :) Agree, federating identity is important & there are systems to help with that (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-identity.html).
Replying to @danieljyoo
I’m just rambling about how we “move” code around. From SHA, to SemVer, to Container, to Clouds, to Browsers.
Eg, UPS tracking code. In tech, each handoff introduces an entirely new way to code & track the same “thing”. The only way the world shows up is via “context”.
Replying to @danieljyoo
Dist tracing is (partially) about bridging the disconnects that each tech boundary introduces.
It is possible to pull “context” across the boundaries, but there’s usually some loss along the way.
Reminder: do not defer integation. Trunk-based is the only way.

Replying to @cmeik
🤔 - can you share a bit more what you’re thinking? Pure lambda chains, mediated by a queue/store, etc.?
Replying to @cmeik
I haven’t seen a lot of chaining, more staged/queue/stream style and annotations along the way.
Bunch of people in https://wt-serverless-seattle.run.webtask.io/serverless-forum-signup?webtask_no_cache=1 who will know more.
Replying to @cmeik
IIRC, this has an orchestrator/worker model: https://github.com/Nordstrom/serverless-artillery
Hot take: observability, or actually the reliability/cost of internally providing it, will be an increasing platform adoption driver.
Beyond the direct customer impact, the opportunity cost in properly supporting it is significant.

Correctness, infra provisioning, POLA IAM roles with ephemeral infra, rollback? Agree you can do all this OOB (and may be faster in a lot of cases), but seems like a lot of work.
Now *manually* editing CF - that’s another thing.
