#128 introduced service topology of instrumented nodes. One issue with this is that an application that makes calls to remote services such as database and LLMs show up as a monolith and nothing else:

I'm not sure how other visualization products work, but possibly we can handle "db.system" or "gen_ai.system" to allow leaf spans to indicate who they are calling. I think there's a "peer.service" attribute, but it seems not in use in normal auto-instrumentation (at least in python)

While in the future this, ".system" thing may change, it gives a stable more usable bucket than hostname which is problematic, and more visually interesting.
