Metrics, Logs and Traces: More Similar Than They Appear? tl;dr: Metrics, logs, and traces, while all time series data, require different approaches for storage and querying due to their unique characteristics. Logs, with their high cardinality and unique data, pose the greatest challenge. Traces, while also high in cardinality, are more structured. Metrics typically have bounded tag keys and values. Each type necessitates a different approach, making a single solution elusive.
