I think the Ruby auto-instrumentation library does wrap practically every method but we ended up finding it too verbose. I think this is a bit of a goldilocks problem insofar as getting it just right is not easy and varies per application.


One of the things i think that can be done is also limit the number of spans collected via configuration.


Aye, but then you’re trading off between a centralized config that does sampling vs customized per-service (or whatever boundary) configs. There’s no free lunch, was mostly my point.
