Distributed Tracing and Monitoring with OpenCensus

on YouTube ↗59m

" summary

OpenCensus provides multi-language client libraries, exporters and a collector so services send traces and metrics to different backends without redeploying. Demo shows a Zipkin exporter producing a trace with 11 spans, metrics recorded as Stackdriver metric "sample execution count" and a Hipster Shop run where tail-based sampling routes only error-containing traces to one Jaeger instance while a head-based instance receives mixed traffic, proving smart sampling cuts noise and storage cost.
