Hey folks!

In this video, let’s take a look at distributed tracing and how to get it working with ASP.NET Core 6.

Distributed tracing isn’t a new subject by any means, but there are some more recent developments, namely in terms of standards like W3C Trace Context and OpenTelemetry, that are worth a look.

Here come a bunch of related links:

• GitHub repository
• W3C Trace Context
• OpenTelemetry .NET reaches v1.0
• OpenTelemetry
• OpenTelemetry .NET
• Seq
• Jaeger
• Zipkin

Hope this video/post helps in understanding how these things work and why they’re useful, as well as how they integrate with our .NET and ASP.NET Core projects.

Thanks for stopping by, cyaz!
