Abstract

We present MicroView, a system designed to improve the accuracy and timeliness of observability in cloud-native applications, while minimizing overhead. MicroView stands out from conventional observability tools by incorporating metrics processing stages at every node within a local lightweight data-plane. We preliminary demonstrate its benefits for distributed tracing and outline a set of architectural choices focused on offloading the MicroView data-plane to IPU accelerators, such as a BlueField-3 SmartNIC, thus limiting the interference with running services.
