StrangeLoop 2019: Everything You Wanted to Know About Distributed Tracing

In the age of microservices, understanding application execution in a distributed environment is complex. Log files provide only partial insights, and examining a single service in isolation is insufficient. Distributed tracing has become crucial for summarizing all aspects of the system into a shared timeline. However, deploying it is challenging, especially in large-scale, polyglot environments with various technologies. This session will explore patterns and methods for implementing tracing for services. It will cover basic concepts, the tracing model, and how to safely use it in production to troubleshoot and diagnose issues.
