Explore distributed tracing techniques for debugging complex concurrent and distributed systems in this 57-minute conference talk. Learn about the emerging OpenTracing standard and its implementation through Zipkin. Discover how to instrument applications to visualize operations across process and service boundaries. Gain insights into microservices architecture benefits, trace context, performance analysis, and best practices. Dive into spans, span context, HTTP headers, and filtering techniques. Watch a practical OpenTracing demo and access valuable resources to enhance your debugging skills for modern distributed architectures.
