Overview
Distributed System Tracing (DST) is a financial-grade solution that provides application observability for cloud-native architectures, including distributed architectures and microservices models such as Spring Cloud, SOFAStack, and Service Mesh.
With DST, O&M engineers, developers, and architects can understand the complex call relationships, performance metrics, error information, and associated logs for applications and services in large-scale microservices architectures. This insight helps them perform DevOps tasks such as root cause analysis, service administration, application development and debugging, performance management, performance tuning, architecture governance, and fault attribution.
Distributed tracing has the following features:
End-to-end tracing: Traces calls across applications, services, databases, and messages to catch performance abnormalities and identify faulty components and services.
Easy to use: Integrates seamlessly with applications on SOFAStack. You can connect your services easily without changing your business code. This enables performance visualization and problem analysis.
High extensibility: It follows the OpenTracing standard and supports various mainstream programming frameworks and databases.
