Distributed Tracing: Troubleshoot and Optimize Microservices Faster

Enabling SRE and developers to quickly

understand:

• The request flow across service

boundaries – get full visibility

• Where the request is failing – triage and

lower MTTI and MTTR

• Where the request is spending most of

its time – improve end-to-end response
time
