The layer, before the trace.
Checkout opens as a stack. The hop outside its baseline is marked on the layer. The trace is the next step.
The product’s layer view is synthetics, real users, the load balancer, the firewall, the network, the application, the database, and the infrastructure. The screen below is that view for the planted checkout.
The pay click is slow. payment-svc is waiting. orders-pg answered in 11 milliseconds against a 15 millisecond normal. Stripe EU is the root at 2.10 seconds against 140 milliseconds.
