Developer Guide

Use these pages when the question is "how do I build this?" rather than "what fields does this type expose?" The guide follows the normal integration path from source data to an interactive viewer.

Read in this order

• Getting started: build and render one trace.
• Data model: understand processes, threads, spans, refs, graphs, and layouts.
• Loading traces: choose static, process-sliced, time-sliced, or streaming loading.
• Incremental ingestion: feed bounded chunks into TraceChunkStore.
• Filtering traces: hide spans without destroying useful topology.
• Rendering traces: understand the React and low-level deck.gl render path.
• Working with Chrome Trace: parse, stream, and write Chrome Trace data.
