Implementing Distributed Tracing in High-Volume Mesh
A deep dive into how we migrated from siloed logging to a unified tracing architecture using OpenTelemetry and Jaeger, specifically addressing the overhead concerns in our latency-critical data plane.

// System Architecture Blueprint
async function initTracing(config: MeshConfig) {
const provider = new TraceProvider({
serviceName: config.id,
exporter: new JaegerExporter({
endpoint: process.env.COLLECTOR_URL
}),
sampler: new ProbabilitySampler(config.sampleRate)
});
// Global Context Propagation
await provider.register();
console.log(`Tracing initialized for ${config.id}`);
}
