Tracing Cloud-Native Applications: From stacktrace to Opentracing using Istio
summary
Concrete setup and results: an instrumented demo uses Jaeger with OpenTracing across Java, NodeJS, Kubernetes, Istio, plus MySQL and Kafka, sending spans via UDP to a Jaeger agent. Traces include JDBC and Kafka spans, show call order and latency, and clearly surface failure cause when MySQL is stopped. Notes on propagation: Istio’s sidecar emits b3 header propagation so applications must forward those headers or traces won’t correlate.
