Distributed Tracing

Distributed tracing is a method used to monitor and understand the performance of complex software systems, particularly those spread across multiple servers or services. It tracks the journey of a request as it moves through various components, recording time taken at each step. This helps developers identify bottlenecks, failures, or inefficiencies, improving the overall performance and reliability. By visualizing how different parts of the system interact, distributed tracing allows teams to diagnose issues quickly and optimize their applications for better user experiences.
