Tracing for Java Developers • Philipp Krenn • Devoxx Poland 2021

You are already utilizing logs and metrics to monitor your applications. Why should you be adding (distributed) tracing or Application Performance Management (APM)? This talk gives a hands-on overview of:
-What you can (not) do with tracing.
-How you can easy add tracing to your Java applications.
-What OpenTracing (or shortly OpenTelemetry) adds to the landscape.
The demo is utilizing the open origin Elastic APM agent with its OpenTracing bridge and the Jaeger agents, so the general concepts widely apply.
