Thanks for sharing this! Very clear explanation and coding, .

Great content! I am very new to your channel and I am absolutely loving you content!
One quick suggestion (if you don't mind) is can you please make you video little more shorter - like all diagrams and most of the code you may keep ready upfront.
So that would save everyone's time and you great effort would be utilized by much larger audience

Thanks for the video! There may be some mistake here. In the middleware description section, you put the work with correlationId at the beginning of the pipeline, but at the end you put this work after the controllers.

Dotnet core has a built in TraceContext and it auto generates TraceId to uniquely identify a request. Custom coding is not required

This is a great vide and very pragmatic too! additionally it would be great if you could have shown how to call another internal (or external services) and pass the correlationid.
Also how does it work in pub/sub model where external services are invoked via messages pushed to any message broker?

How to monitor corelationid? Any dashboard for this?

[pratikshatiwari]

Thank you so much it is helpful is there any way i can save all transaction logs with correlation ID in file

[alexlo]

Thank u for the great video. Could u plz publish the complete source code? It looks like for me that Git repository contains the initial code.

Hi, I have a video suggestion. Create a video about microservices, mainly authentication in microservice and communication(message brokers)
