Pinpoint is an open-source Application Performance Management (APM) tool for large-scale distributed systems, inspired by Google's Dapper paper. It traces transactions across distributed applications to visualize system topology and provide code-level visibility with minimal performance overhead (~3%).
Use cases
- monitor application performance in real time
- visualize the topology of a distributed system
- trace transactions across microservices to find bottlenecks
- instrument Java applications without changing code
- set up alerts on application metrics
- analyze URI statistics and error rates
When to choose
- you run a large-scale distributed Java-based system and need APM
- you want distributed tracing with code-level visibility and low overhead
- you prefer a self-hosted APM with a visual server map
- you need agent-based instrumentation without code changes
When to avoid
- your stack is primarily non-JVM languages without agent support
- you want a fully managed SaaS observability solution
- you need a lightweight single-service profiler rather than distributed tracing
