Build A Simple Tracing System in Elixir
In this post, the first of a two-part series, we'll cover how Elixir applications can be traced using OpenTelemetry and how macros can make this process super easy and streamlined. First, we'll talk about tracing and OpenTelemetry in Elixir. Then we'll improve our custom tracing layer step-by-step until we get an easy and seamless tool to trace our application. Let's get started!
