Distributed tracing is a method for tracking operations in a distributed system. It provides end-to-end visibility into microservices architecture. Tracing works through context propagation. Distributed tracing complements logging by providing more context about request flow. It is useful for troubleshooting, debugging, observability, operations, and testing. Developers and DevOps can use distributed tracing to improve their understanding of architectures and environments. OpenTelemetry is an industry standard for collecting distributed tracing data. Jaeger is a popular open source distributed tracing solution. Helios provides deep visualization for troubleshooting applications.
