Distributed tracing, in particular, is essential for diagnosing issues within complex transactions. OpenTelemetry has emerged as the indispensable standard in this field. This article explores the fundamentals of distributed tracing, its implementation, and its impacts.</p> <p>In a context where applications are increasingly complex, it is crucial to be able to observe each transaction in detail to quickly identify problems and ensure continuous evolution of the platform. Among the three main pillars of observability—logs, metrics, and traces—traces are often less known but equally essential.</p>
