Tracing for Developers
Get a unified and connected view of your application from frontend to backend and across services. Tracing allows you to understand how interconnected systems interact and where complex issues originate.
With the Trace Explorer (currently in beta), search for traces matching specific criteria, like a specific route, API endpoint, or user ID.
With the Trace View, get full context into what happened when an error or performance issue occurred, making it easier and faster to debug slow services, identify related errors, and root out bottlenecks. Get to the Trace View easily, either from the correlated metrics, specific issue, or the Trace Explorer.
