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.
