Hi, Adrian and HTrace community. Glad to be invited. I am the creator and PPMC of SkyWaking, which is a new incubator project: https://incubator.apache.org/projects/skywalking.html
Right now, SkyWalking provide Agent based SDK, such OpenTracing APIs and our own APIs. But I am not familiar with HTrace's APIs. But there is two very easy ways 1. Add a new module to provide a library 2. Provide another API library with the agent. Or HTrace community guys have any suggestion. Anyway, I and skywalking team want to help. 2018-03-09 8:01 GMT+08:00 Adrian Cole <adrian.f.c...@gmail.com>: > I forget.. does skywalking have a standalone tracing library or is it > agent only?
