In the olden days, to debug problems, developers would typically log into the server running the software and inspect the logs and maybe some real-time metrics to investigate the issue. Nowadays, the distributed nature of modern architectures makes this impossible. When your software runs in parallel on multiple services and containers, and when deployments are automated and happen without human intervention, you need to devise new methods of investigation. Different organizations may utilize tracing for different needs, but they are all in need of a practical tool to help them implement it.

Gaining observability in distributed systems becomes more crucial than ever, and choosing the right set of tools will impact the organization and business. So where should you start?
