Introduction

As we progress with microservices, OpsRamp recognizes that the majority of operational challenges encountered when transitioning to distributed architecture primarily stem from two core areas: Networking and Observability. Networking and debugging a collection of interconnected distributed services present a significantly larger-scale issue compared to a single monolithic application.

Tracing provides better visibility into how applications and services interact with each other internally to handle a request. This offering benefits the following aspects by tracing the entire path:

  • Performance and Latency
  • Root Cause Analysis
  • Service Dependency Analysis
