Distributed Tracing - Implementing Latency Analysis for microservices on Cloud Foundry
summary
Demonstration shows end-to-end latency analysis by deploying Zipkin as an app on Cloud Foundry, binding a MySQL span store and RabbitMQ stream, and instrumenting Java/Spring apps with Spring Cloud Sleuth (demo sets sampling to 100% versus the default 10%). Traces and custom spans (trace.createSpan) reveal a four‑second hotspot and service dependency graph; PCF ships PCF Metrics that ingests the firehose, correlates traces with logs, and stores recent data without managing Zipkin.
