About

This project is the result of a few hours of hacking on a weekend. I wanted to get a good feel for configuring distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry in Rust.

The write up will cover the following and include code samples:

Setting up an Axum web server
Configuring OpenTelemetry to format and emit traces using Tokio Tracing.
Configuring Jaeger to receive traces from the web server
Setting up an example gRPC server and client using Tonic, calling the service from the web server, and propagating the trace context between the two services to Jaeger.
