Distributed tracing is a method of monitoring and profiling applications built on a microservices architecture. It helps you understand how requests flow through your distributed system, identify performance bottlenecks, and debug issues across multiple services.
Distributed tracing tracks the path of a request as it flows through multiple services in a distributed system. Each request is assigned a unique trace ID, and individual operations within that request are captured as spans. This creates a complete picture of the request’s journey through your system.
TrueFoundry offers an OpenTelemetry collector backend for storing OpenTelemetry-based traces. You can instrument your applications using any programming language with any OpenTelemetry client to publish traces. TrueFoundry provides comprehensive OpenTelemetry-based instrumentation guides for the following languages.
Before you can publish any traces to TrueFoundry, you must create a trace project. This is a mandatory step for setting up tracing. Learn how to create and configure your trace project.
Python application tracing
NodeJs application tracing
Java application tracing
