Introduction to Tracing : OpenTelemetry & Opentracing

In this video, we take a look at what Tracing is, and some of the terminology around distributed tracing as well as a demo of an opentracing implementation in a microservice architecture.

I rarely ever comment on YT but I just had to let you know how thorough, easy to follow and informative your video is.

Dude, where have you been all my life. This is the best explanation of Observability I have even seen! TY TY TY soooo much!

[faadi]

You have made my life so easier. not a single video like this on Youtube who would have cleared distributed tracing to me in such concise manner. Kudos to you brother. Stay blessed.

Very underrated channel. This deserves lot many subscribers and followers. Thanks a lot.

Let me say this: Less nonsense and 100% sense.

Crisp, clear and relatable.

[bloodraven]

Sir, I really glad to hear your clearly speech. Its really important to me as not native English speaker.

[andreashurling]

This was the best video to get an understanding of tracing and instrumentation. Thank you very much!

[leamon]

Hi, thanks for the effort and sharing. Looking forward to more in-depth videos about openTelemetry.

[stevelapp]

Great content, content density. Not going to get this from reading any blog. Thanks

[diegrootam]

Excellent video. Congrats, Marcel.
And please, feed more with Jaeger videos. THankss

[FabianoChagas]

Hi Marcel
Thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge one more time. I ALWAYS learn a lot from your videos
And about having another video deep diving into jaeger would be great! Thanks again!

[utubuddy]

Thank you for your explanation. You’re God sent.

This video was super helpful! The Open Telemetry docs have been frustratingly confusing to understand and try to auto instrument the whole world without telling me what it's actually doing.

[NicolasVERMANDE]

Excellent production, great content from a technical perspective. Thanks!

[davidtheprogrammer]

This was amazing! Thank you for the time and effort you put into this.

[nikofeng]

Loves your video and hopefully topic jaeger will be on the fly soon

[vladf]

great explanation, thanks! It's really helps me to undestand what tracing is.

[wawaji]

Thanks! Very helpful one. Better than 100 pages doc!

Great introduction into how OpenTracing works and how to instrument your code.
