Distributed Tracing with Sleuth/Zipkin
Integrate Spring Cloud Sleuth and Zipkin for distributed tracing, gaining visibility into request flows across microservices.
What is Distributed Tracing?
In microservices, a single user request often travels through many different services. This makes it hard to follow the request's journey!
Distributed tracing is a technique that helps you track the path of a request as it moves across various services in your system.
Why Trace Microservices?
Without tracing, debugging issues in microservices is like finding a needle in a haystack. You don't know which service failed or where the delay occurred.
- Debugging: Pinpoint errors faster.
- Performance: Identify bottlenecks in the request flow.
- Visibility: Understand how services interact.
