Distributed Tracing
Implement distributed tracing with Jaeger and Tempo for request flow visibility across microservices.
Purpose
Track requests across distributed systems to understand latency, dependencies, and failure points.
When to Use
- Debug latency issues
- Understand service dependencies
- Identify bottlenecks
- Trace error propagation
- Analyze request paths
Detailed patterns and worked examples
Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.
Best Practices
- Sample appropriately (1-10% in production)
