Tracing

Description

  • Tracing is usually request-scoped
  • For example, a user request goes through the API gateway, load balancer, service A, service B, and database, which can be visualized in the tracing systems
  • This is useful when we are trying to identify the bottlenecks in the system
  • We use OpenTelemetry to showcase the typical architecture, which unifies the 3 pillars in a single framework
