Distributed Tracing Made Easy with .NET 5, with Jimmy Bogard

Distributed Tracing Made Easy with .NET 5, with Jimmy Bogard at Codecamp_The One with .NET before Xmas, 2020

When something goes wrong in a single application, we get a nice stack trace. In a distributed system, we get almost nothing! We add some logging, but now we have to comb through logs to understand what led to failures. Enter distributed tracing, which provides a true end-to-end view of an operation in our system. In this talk, Jimmy looks at the new diagnostics capabilities in .NET 5, and how you can leverage them to expose and propagate tracing data. Jimmy looks at new standards that help you avoid vendor lock-in for tracing. Finally, he looks at the OpenTelemetry project and how we can leverage it to target any tracing tool with ease.
