ddtrace is Datadog's tracing library for Python. It is used to trace requests
as they flow across web servers, databases and microservices so that developers
have great visiblity into bottlenecks and troublesome requests.
For a basic product overview, installation and quick start, check out our setup documentation.
For more advanced usage and configuration, check out our API documentation.
For descriptions of terminology used in APM, take a look at the official documentation.
The test suite requires many backing services such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis
and more. We use docker and docker-compose to run the services in our CI
and for development. To run the test matrix, please install docker and
docker-compose using the instructions provided by your platform. Then
launch them through:
$ docker-compose up -d
Once docker is up and running you should be able to run the tests. To launch a
single test manually. For example to run the tests for redis-py 2.10 on Python
3.5 and 3.6:
$ tox -e '{py35,py36}-redis{210}'
To see the defined test commands see tox.ini.
To launch the complete test matrix run:
$ tox
We use CircleCI 2.0 for our continuous integration.
The CI tests are configured through config.yml.
The CI tests can be run locally using the circleci CLI. More information about
the CLI can be found at https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/local-jobs/.
After installing the circleci CLI, you can run jobs by name. For example:
$ circleci build --job django
When two or more approaches must be compared, please write a benchmark in the benchmark.py module so that we can measure the efficiency of the algorithm. To run your benchmark, just:
$ python -m tests.benchmark
