def write(trace, services)
  # In multiprocess environments, the main process initializes the +Writer+ instance and if
  # the process forks (i.e. a web server like Unicorn or Puma with multiple workers) the new
  # processes will share the same +Writer+ until the first write (COW). Because of that,
  # each process owns a different copy of the +@buffer+ after each write and so the
  # +AsyncTransport+ will not send data to the trace agent.
  #
  # This check ensures that if a process doesn't own the current +Writer+, async workers
  # will be initialized again (but only once for each process).

      # we should start threads because the worker doesn't own this
