Cloud Foundry Summit Silicon Valley 2017

Microservices are great but the complexities associated with monolith have now been transferred into the microservices ecosystem. So when things go wrong especially in terms of latency, how do we troubleshoot them? How do we answer questions like how much time it took for the request? Which microservice is responsible for the delay? How can we better troubleshoot without searching through lines of logs? What about real time debugging? In this talk we learn about how we can better answer these questions and more with distributed tracing along with Metrics from Pivotal Cloud Foundry. We will also show a demo of how to implement Distributed Tracing in an existing application with Spring Cloud Sleuth, PCF Metrics and Zipkin. By the end, you should feel empowered to add distributed tracing into your own applications!
