Learn how to use distributed tracing and OpenTracing (an open standard for distributed tracing that provides a vendor-neutral API) to provide critical performance insight into your microservices. Monitor your users’ experience within your client-side application with Real User Monitoring (RUM) to see each trace — from the initial web request to your frontend service to queries made to your backend services — all in one view.
Highlights:
- Learn how distributed tracing helps pinpoint where failures occur and what causes poor performance in applications
- See how Elastic Real User Monitoring (RUM) monitors application performance from the end-user perspective
- Watch a demo of distributed tracing with Elastic APM, an OpenTracing-compliant distributed tracing system
