tracing

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive tools and patterns for implementing distributed tracing in your application, enabling deep visibility into request flows, performance bottlenecks, and error sources across your system.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Span Creation: Easily create spans for different operation types (instant events, async operations, manual control, long-running flows).
• Context Propagation: Automatically injects vital attributes and cascades context through TracingProvider.
• Cardinality Management: Enforces low cardinality for span names and provides guidance on attribute usage.
• Error Handling: Robust error recording and status setting within spans.
• Use Case: Debug a slow API request by tracing its entire lifecycle from the client to the backend, identifying which service or operation is causing the delay.
