2026: Launch Query or Event Lifecycle Monitoring Store

Flant, a developer of enterprise infrastructure products, launched a query or event life cycle monitoring (trace) repository in the Deckhouse Observability Platform (DOP). The company announced this on March 10, 2026. Now IT development and operation teams can manage distributed query traces at the platform level: with setting limits, access rights and built-in monitoring, without the need to deploy separate solutions for each service.

Deckhouse Observability Platform is a centralized observability platform for hybrid and Kubernetes infrastructure. The solution combines metrics, logs and trace applications, physical servers, virtual machines, networks and Kubernetes clusters in one system.

The trace store closes the key problem of microservice architectures. In a distributed system, one user request goes through many services, and if there is degradation or error, it is difficult for commands to quickly understand exactly where the failure occurred. Without traces, the search for the root cause takes a long time, which increases the average duration of service recovery.

Implementing a trace store in DOP reduces the time to find the causes of incidents: trace ID links the spans of all services into a single chain, allowing you to instantly see the path of the request. The solution simplifies debugging of distributed systems - engineers receive detailed information about the behavior of the application, the duration of commands and the sequence of calls. The localization of the problem becomes objective: you can immediately see in which service the delay occurred and which team is responsible for its elimination, which reduces the number of disputes in cases of incidents.

Particular attention is paid to the reliability and controllability of the component itself. In DOP, internal monitoring of the trace store is implemented, which includes the collection of key metrics: load, errors, delays, resource consumption and the state of write and read operations. To visualize the state of the storage, specialized dashboards are provided that speed up the localization of problems of the observability infrastructure. The alert system automatically notifies you of degradation or failure under specified conditions, reducing the response time of the command and preventing the problem from going unnoticed.

We added a trace store to DOP to close an important task in a microservice environment: quickly understand where an error occurred in the service chain. It was important for us to do not just store trails, but a managed platform component - with flexible configuration, limits, access rights and internal status monitoring. This eliminates the need for teams to collect and maintain individual solutions, making working with traces predictable and convenient, "said Konstantin Aksyonov, director of the Deckhouse development department at Flant.

Centralized storage supports long-term storage with flexible access rights and auditing of all events.
