Using Distributed Tracing to Speed up Local Development

Distributed Tracing is a great way to understand what your microservices application is doing, but normally you don't have access to it in your local environment.

However, when you build your backend application using Encore, you automatically get built-in tracing in ALL environments. In this video, Simon shows you how to use it to debug your app when developing new features locally.
