Does it support multiple programming languages?

Yes, it includes specific OpenTelemetry instrumentation examples and best practices for Python (Flask), Node.js (Express), and Go.

Which tracing backends does this skill support?

This skill provides configuration and implementation details for Jaeger and Grafana Tempo, which are the industry-leading open-source tracing backends.

Is there a significant impact on application performance?

The skill outlines best practices for sampling (e.g., 1-10% in production) and using batch processors to ensure tracing overhead remains minimal, typically under 1% CPU impact.

How does this help with performance debugging?

It allows you to visualize the entire lifecycle of a single request across all service boundaries, making it easy to see exactly where a delay or error occurs in the stack.

Can I use this for Kubernetes environments?

Absolutely. The skill includes Kubernetes manifests and deployment strategies for the Jaeger Operator and Grafana Tempo instances.

Analíticas y Monitorización

Implements end-to-end request tracking using Jaeger and Tempo to monitor performance and debug latency across distributed systems.

Acerca de

This skill provides specialized guidance for implementing comprehensive distributed tracing in microservice architectures. It covers setup for Jaeger and Grafana Tempo, automated and manual instrumentation using OpenTelemetry for Python, Node.js, and Go, and advanced concepts like context propagation and sampling strategies. By utilizing these patterns, developers can gain deep visibility into request flows, identify service dependencies, and pinpoint the exact source of performance bottlenecks or failures within complex distributed environments.
