👋 Hey folks, I haven't had luck with any distributed tracing providers (or SDKs) that are functional with Kotlin coroutines / suspending functions.

Some examples & description of common issues:
• https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/issues/6542
• https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/issues/6502
• https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-java/issues/931
Surprisingly IBM's observability thing was the only one I found that seems to sell on working with coroutines - although was cost prohibitive for us.

We could continue to use OpenTelemetry and setup the spans ourselves using a wrapper similar to this approach; but it winds up being pretty verbose and could be challenging to maintain.

Would appreciate some insight / opinions on how to profile given the current state of the tracing tooling.

If you find something, I'm interested as well. We use new relic (and are migrating to the open telemetry agent for it) but still have to setup spans by hand.
