Master Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud - Step 35 – Introduction to Distributed Tracing

The video tutorial discusses the complexity of microservices, particularly in service calls and debugging. It highlights the need for distributed tracing to manage and debug these complex systems effectively. The tutorial introduces Spring Cloud Sleuth and Zipkin as tools for implementing distributed tracing, emphasizing the importance of assigning unique IDs to requests to trace them across different components. The video aims to guide viewers through the process of setting up these tools to achieve centralized tracing and logging in a microservices architecture.
