  • As the first step, you must create the Node.js services with Amplication. In this example, I will be using three already created Prisma schemas. You can find those schemas in this GitHub repository.

  • I don't need to specify a collector getaway in the above configuration since I'm using jaeger-all-in-one. However, I have specified a collector getaway to highlight the receiver's components and ports.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • That's it. You successfully created a Node. js-based microservices application using Amplication, configuring tracing, and monitoring trace data through Jeager. You can find the complete code example in GitHub and watch the video below to understand the code used for tracing.

  • jaeger

    CNCF Jaeger, a Distributed Tracing Platform

  • In this example, I will create 3 Node.js services (shipping, notification, and courier) using Amplication, add traces to all services, and show how to analyze trace data using Jaeger.

  • amplication

    🔥🔥🔥 Open-source backend development platform. Build production-ready services without wasting time on repetitive coding.

  • In this example, I will create 3 Node.js services (shipping, notification, and courier) using Amplication, add traces to all services, and show how to analyze trace data using Jaeger.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
