Learn how distributed tracing can revolutionize the way you troubleshoot errors and performance issues, in both monolithic and distributed micro-service architectures.
OpenTelemetry is an industry standard for distributed tracing, merging the tech and communities of OpenCensus and OpenTracing.
- Introduce the concepts of application tracing and the state of the ecosystem (Spans, Traces, Context Propagation, OpenTracing, OpenCensus, OpenTelemetry)
- Explain how this is different and complementary to Erlang’s built-in tracing tools
- Show what insights can be more easily gained from trace data as opposed to logs and metrics
