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}`);
}
