Distributed Tracing

Comprehensive distributed tracing with Jaeger, Zipkin, OpenTelemetry, correlation IDs, and span design.

Overview

Distributed tracing tracks requests as they flow through multiple services, enabling debugging and performance analysis in microservices architectures.

Key Concepts

Trace Model

• Trace: End-to-end request journey
• Span: Single operation within a trace
• Span Context: Propagated trace information
• Baggage: Custom key-value pairs carried across services
