Timeless Traces
Timeless Traces - Searchable Compressed Trace Store for Elixir
TimelessTraces receives spans directly from the OpenTelemetry Erlang SDK (no HTTP, no protobuf), compresses them with two-tier raw/OpenZL block storage (~10x compression), and indexes them in ETS for lock-free trace-level and span-level queries. The trace index stores packed binary trace IDs on disk to keep the index compact while remaining backward-compatible with legacy text rows. Zero external infrastructure required.
