What observability tools does this skill support?

This skill provides implementation patterns and configurations for OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, and Grafana Tempo.

Can it help with context propagation between services?

Absolutely. The skill includes methods for injecting and extracting trace context via HTTP headers to ensure trace continuity across service boundaries.

How does this skill help identify performance bottlenecks?

By implementing spans and traces, you can visualize the entire lifecycle of a request to see exactly which service or database query is causing latency.

Does it include guidance on sampling strategies?

Yes, it covers probabilistic, rate-limiting, and adaptive sampling to help manage tracing overhead in high-traffic production environments.

Which programming languages are covered for instrumentation?

It includes specific, production-grade instrumentation examples for Python (Flask), Node.js (Express), and Go.
