Introduction

Distributed tracing is a critical technique for monitoring and understanding the behaviour of microservices architectures. It provides visibility into how requests flow through various services. This enables team to troubleshoot issues efficiently, find bottlenecks and improve overall system performance. Distributed tracing adds great observability into your distributed environment. You can read more about observability challenges in microservices in below article:
