Distributed Tracing

Patterns and practices for implementing distributed tracing across microservices and understanding request flows in distributed systems.

When to Use This Skill

• Implementing distributed tracing in microservices
• Debugging cross-service request issues
• Understanding trace propagation
• Choosing tracing infrastructure
• Correlating logs, metrics, and traces

Why Distributed Tracing?

Problem: Request flows through multiple services
How do you debug when something fails?
