Explore distributed tracing in microservice architectures through this 31-minute conference talk from Strange Loop. Discover how to visualize and optimize complex request paths spanning hundreds of network hops. Learn to leverage distributed tracing for system-wide insights, performance optimization, and issue investigation. Gain practical knowledge from Lyft's tracing implementation, including adoption challenges and best practices. Compare tracing with other observability tools like metrics and logging, and understand its strengths and limitations. Delve into topics such as instrumentation, OpenTracing, and Envoy, equipping yourself to enhance system visibility and performance in microservice environments.
