If you are running a distributed system where each request talks to more than a couple of services, databases, and a queuing system, pinpointing the cause of an issue is not a trivial affair. Perhaps the most critical tooling in this workflow is distributed tracing.

In this OpenTelemetry demo series, we’ll take an in-depth look at how to use OpenTelemetry to add observability to a distributed web application that originally didn’t know anything about tracing, telemetry, or observability. However, as software workloads have become more distributed, relying on logs alone is proving inadequate.
