Webinar: Distributed Tracing with the Micronaut Framework

Distributed tracing allows developers to better monitor and understand the flow of requests through a microservice architecture with a much more holistic view than is possible through other approaches, such as log-file aggregation or metrics-gathering.

The Micronaut framework makes it easy to build tracing-aware apps using the standard OpenTracing API and includes special support for Jaeger and Zipkin.

In this 45-minute webinar, Micronaut team member, Zachary Klein, demonstrates how the Micronaut framework abstracts the details of adding tracing to interservice requests and shows you how to quickly set up a robust tracing scheme for your own Micronaut-based federation.

The following topics are covered:

  • Introduction to distributed tracing
  • Introduction to the Micronaut framework
  • The Micronaut framework’s tracing annotations
  • Demo application using Jaeger
