Open Source Distributed Tracing Workshop

Details
Time: 7:00 pm India Time (2:30 pm Central European Time)
Who this workshop is for:
- Anyone who wants an overview of Zipkin, Hypertrace or Distributed Tracing in general.
Speaker Bio: José Carlos Chávez is a Sr. Software Engineer at Traceable AI where he works on Zipkin, Hypertrace & OpenTelemetry, and all things tracing! Prior to Traceable, JC worked at Expedia where he contributed to Zipkin and Haystack
Overview:
Distributed Tracing is a must for developers, SREs and the operators of Microservices-based apps & platforms. In this short workshop you will learn how to use distributed tracing to better understand and troubleshoot your microservices-based applications.

Agenda:
Part 1: We begin by showing you how to use distributed tracing to view your application architecture and answer these questions:
- What are the Services in my app?
- What are the internal and external APIs in my app?
Part 2. We drill down into a service that has errors. We will show you how to find a trace, it's components, the API calls, the critical path and overall latency of the request.
- Which services take up the most time
- What is going on in that service.
Part 3. Hands-on lab (optional)
You will be given a simple app with instructions to modify one of the services so it can send traces to a distributed tracing server (Zipkin or Hypertrace). You will follows instructions to identify the following:
- Root cause analysis
- Performance / latency optimization
Part 4. We will demonstrate how to use a application topology map to perform a service dependency analysis which will enable you to view all of all of the services in your application.
Part 5. We will explore API calls using the Explorer view in Hypertrace. You will be able to run ad-hoc queries across all traces shared by an application.
