Master Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud - Step 10 – Introduction to Distributed Tracing

The video tutorial explores the use of Docker to run microservices, focusing on distributed tracing. It explains the challenges of debugging complex microservice call chains and introduces distributed tracing as a solution. The tutorial details how distributed tracing works by sending information to a tracing server, which stores it in a database. The course uses an in-memory database for this purpose. Finally, the video guides viewers on setting up the Zipkin server as a Docker container to connect microservices for tracing.

What information does the distributed tracing server store?

What will be launched as a Docker container for distributed tracing?
