  • API Monitoring for Mobile Apps: Key Metrics for Developers
    2 projects | dev.to | 31 Mar 2025
    Distributed tracing: This technology follows requests as they bounce between services, showing you exactly where things slow down or break. Tools like Jaeger and Zipkin support OpenTracing standards, and leveraging an OpenTelemetry plugin can make it possible to track requests across different service boundaries without losing the thread.
  • Bottleneck Identification Using Distributed Tracing
    3 projects | dev.to | 25 Mar 2025
    Getting Started: Use tools like Jaeger, Zipkin, or OpenTelemetry. Focus on critical paths, set smart sampling rules, and align trace data with system metrics.
  • Async APIs and Microservices: How API Gateways Bridge the Gap
    4 projects | dev.to | 27 Feb 2025
    Logging and Tracing: Use centralized logging and distributed tracing to gain visibility into the flow of requests across microservices. This helps you diagnose issues more effectively and understand the impact of changes. Tools like Jaeger or Zipkin can be integrated with your API gateway to provide detailed tracing information.

    When choosing distributed tracing tools, considerations include your technology stack, business requirements, and monitoring complexity. Zipkin, SkyWalking, and OpenTelemetry are popular distributed tracing solutions, each with its unique features.
  • The Road to GraphQL At Enterprise Scale
    6 projects | dev.to | 8 Nov 2023
    From the perspective of the realization of GraphQL infrastructure, the interesting direction is "Finding". How to find the problem? How to find the bottleneck of the system? Distributed Tracing System (DTS) will help answer this question. Distributed tracing is a method of observing requests as they propagate through distributed environments. In our scenario, we have dozens of subgraphs, gateway, and transport layer through which the request goes. We have several tools that can be used to detect the whole lifecycle of the request through the system, e.g. Jaeger, Zipkin or solutions that provided DTS as a part of the solution NewRelic.
