A method of computing a workload performed by a group of related spans within a microservices-based application executing in a distributed computing environment comprises aggregating a plurality of ingested spans associated with one or more applications executing in the distributed computing environment into a plurality of traces. The method also comprises retrieving a set of traces from the plurality of traces in response to a query and tracking an execution time of each respective group of related spans in the set of traces, wherein the tracking an execution time is performed for a plurality of groups. Further, the method comprises tracking a cumulative execution time for the plurality of groups and computing a workload ratio associated with each respective group of related spans using an execution time associated with a respective group and the cumulative execution time for the plurality of groups.
