We think monitoring and tracing should be performed across the whole application lifecycle and that it should be easy to compare changes between production, staging/QA and production environments. But for technical reasons we had to remove explicit support for multi-environment monitoring and tracing almost 2 years ago, when our backend and worker jobs couldn't handle the data from our original prototype data model.

We have improved the dashboard in Tideways to include preview charts with the last 24 hours of performance data and the performance of the most recent 15 minute interval. This provides you with a much better overview of all your applications and by selecting any time range in the preview chart you can directly jump to a time-range that interests you.
