Description
I'm evaluating the differences between perfetto and the open-telemetry ecosystem, and it seems like there could be a lot of value in reusing the perfetto ui for viewing otel metrics+span sdk's. Specifically, being able to reuse the trace visualization and the trace processor to have a cohesive story for running SQL expressions on traces.
Besides otel lacking the profiling support, being able to reuse the span / metrics sdk as a drop-in replacement for perfetto's TRACE_EVENT and TRACE_COUNTER macros seems like it may be worthwhile to others as well. Is this something other members in the community are interested in as well?
Naively, it seems like perfetto was designed for tracing on-device behavior while otel focuses more on distributed tracing currently. Maybe there is no overlap here, but figured it would be worth asking about :).
