Distributed Tracing is scary and complicated... right?

A great introduction to what traces and spans are, how they work, and the OpenTelemetry Protocol

Have been using Open Telemetry with Micrometer in a Spring Boot 3 microservices architecture. I have to say (regardless of framework of programming language) : structure your logs (like the article mentioned), use the tracing ID propagation and collect the logs in something like Elastic. This makes analyzing logs nice, especially if you're in a Kubernetes cluster with many services with multiple pods.
