Daily Term: Distributed Tracing

Distributed Tracing

Distributed Tracing is a method for monitoring and debugging requests as they travel through a distributed system, such as a microservices architecture. It assigns a unique trace ID to each request and logs its journey across services, capturing latency and errors. Tools like Jaeger or Zipkin visualize these traces, helping developers identify bottlenecks or failures. While powerful for debugging, distributed tracing can add overhead and requires instrumentation of all services.
