Distributed Tracing in NestJS: End-to-End Request Visibility with OpenTelemetry
The article discusses the implementation of distributed tracing in NestJS using OpenTelemetry. It highlights the challenges of debugging in microservices architectures and how distributed tracing can provide visibility into request flows. The guide includes steps for setting up tracing, including installation and configuration of necessary packages.
- ▪Distributed tracing solves the problem of debugging in microservices by providing a complete map of request flows.
- ▪OpenTelemetry is the open-source standard that enables distributed tracing across various languages and infrastructures.
- ▪The article provides a step-by-step guide to setting up distributed tracing in NestJS, including auto-instrumentation and context propagation.
