In this video we will look into how we can capture distributed traces that are generated as part of communication between service.
We will use Opentelemetry standards to export the traces from a Spring boot Application and the visualize the traces on a Jaeger dashboard.
We will start the Jaeger dashboard using the docker image using docker compose.

You can also read about this along with the GitHub link to the code: https://refactorfirst.com/distributed...
