Deployment
This section contains a general overview of deploying Tracetest in production. You can find platform-specific guides for:
As shown in the diagram below, a typical production Tracetest deployment consists of Postgres, an OpenTelemetry Colletor and a trace data store. But, if you do not want to use a trace data store, you can rely entirely on OpenTelemetry Collector.
Postgres stores all Tracetest-related data.
OpenTelemetry Collector ingests traces from your distributed system and forwards them to a trace data store.
A trace data store is used to store traces. Tracetest will fetch trace data from the trace data store when running tests.
Tracetest can be configured via a configuration file:
# tracetest.yaml
postgres:
host: postgres
user: postgres
password: postgres
port: 5432
dbname: postgres
params: sslmode=disable
