Tracing

Tracing is a way of profiling and monitoring events in applications. This helps to reveal the performance of critical operations with correct information. Tracing also helps to break down our operations to the database, APIs, and other Microservices.

Jaeger is a distributed tracing system and is used for monitoring and troubleshooting Microservices-based distributed systems. Jaeger generates a time line view with traces. This helps to understand the request flow. Jaeger also assists in detecting performance bottlenecks.
