End of Life Announcement for Tracetest Cloud

Dear Tracetest Community,

After careful reflection, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the commercial offering of Tracetest. Over the past few years, we’ve put significant effort into developing the product and exploring the potential of trace-based testing. While the adoption we aimed for didn’t align with the investment needed to continue, we are proud of what we built and the community that supported us along the way.

What’s Next?

When we first launched Tracetest, the observability and OpenTelemetry space was just starting to gain momentum. Now, it’s evolved into a critical component for organizations worldwide, driving new ways to monitor, test, and optimize distributed systems. We’ve been fortunate to contribute to this journey and are excited to see how the observability space continues to grow.

The open-source version of Tracetest will continue to be available at https://github.com/kubeshop/tracetest. We encourage the community to keep innovating with it. We look forward to seeing teams create new ways to apply trace-based testing in their workflows.

As for our team, we are moving in new directions and exploring fresh opportunities.If you’d like to connect with us for future roles or collaborations, feel free to reach out via LinkedIn.

Thank You From All of Us

To everyone who used, contributed to, or supported Tracetest: thank you. Your engagement, feedback, and encouragement have meant a great deal to us over the past two and a half years.

While this chapter closes, we remain optimistic about the future of observability-driven testing and excited to see how the community continues to push the boundaries with Tracetest Open Source.

Best,

Ken & The Tracetest Team
