Webinar: Distributed Tracing with the Micronaut Framework

In this 45-minute webinar, Zachary Klein demonstrates how to build tracing-aware apps with the Micronaut framework using the standard OpenTracing API.

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
