Troubleshoot Your RoR Microservices with Distributed Tracing

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Shows a working implementation that instruments Rails with OpenCensus and exports traces to backends like DataDog service map, using Rack and Faraday middleware to propagate trace and span IDs. Claims it runs across about 100 microservices in Ruby Go Python Node and Rust and yields per-request traces that list involved services, latency per span, SQL and template spans, and causality so teams locate surprising bottlenecks and root causes quickly.
