Jaeger Integration with Spring Cloud

In today’s complex landscape of highly distributed microservices, monitoring, and tracing are essential tools for understanding application performance and effectively diagnosing issues. Distributed tracing allows us to track requests as they traverse multiple services, providing valuable insights into potential bottlenecks and latency problems. In this blog post, we will explore the process of setting up distributed tracing in a Spring Boot application, utilizing OpenTelemetry and Jaeger. Understanding Distributed Tracing Distributed tracing is a technique that helps developers and operators track requests as they move across various microservices or components of an application. It provides end-to-end visibility into the path a request takes and the time it spends in each service. With this information, you can: Identify bottlenecks: Find out which parts of your application are causing delays or performance issues. Optimize performance: Analyze the trace data to ide...
