Distributed tracing and database integration

In this section, we will learn how to implement a distributed tracing infrastructure and how to integrate databases for microservices.

Let’s explore each of these topics in more detail.

Distributed tracing

Distributed tracing is a technique that’s used in microservices architectures to monitor, profile, and troubleshoot complex interactions between services. It helps visualize the flow of requests as they traverse various microservices.

Distributed tracing has the following characteristics:

  • End-to-end visibility: Distributed tracing allows you to track requests as they traverse various microservices. It provides end-to-end visibility into the flow of requests, helping diagnose issues and optimize performance.
  • Trace context: Distributed tracing relies on a trace context that travels with the request. Each service in the microservices architecture adds its information to the trace context, allowing correlation...
