What is distributed tracing?
Distributed tracing systems allows tracking a request through a software system that is distributed across multiple applications, services, and databases as well as through proxies.
Distributed tracing allow us to measure the total time a request took to complete across multiple services. It helps gather timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in service architectures.
There are many distributed tracing systems like Zipkin, OpenTracing, etc.
