Zipkin

Debugging with logs can only get you so far. By implementing distributed tracing, you can see your requests and services, and spend less time debugging. Try distributed tracing with an open-source tool, like Jaeger or Zipkin and if you’re looking for that extra boost of predicting the effects of your changes, give Aspecto a try, for faster feedback and more visibility.

Open Telemetry

Hopefully, by now you’re convinced that distributed tracing can make your life easier, or at least shorten your debugging time. To get you started, here are three tools for your team to look into. These tools use an open-source called OpenTelemetry, an observability framework for microservices and a member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
