Abstract

A method of rendering a service graph illustrating dependencies between a frontend and a backend of an application comprises generating a plurality of frontend traces from a plurality of frontend spans and generating a plurality of backend traces from a plurality of backend spans ingested from the application. The method also comprises aggregating frontend metrics data using the plurality of frontend traces and backend metrics data using the plurality of backend traces. The method further comprises determining connection information between one or more frontend traces of the plurality of frontend traces and corresponding backend traces of the plurality of backend traces. The method also comprises rendering the service graph using the connection information and the aggregated frontend and backend metrics data.
