Understanding Microservice Latency: Overview of New Relic Distributed Tracing

Software teams, working in an environment where there are many services involved in servicing a request, need to deeply understand the performance of every service, so they can more effectively resolve performance issues, measure overall system health, and prioritise high-value areas for improvement. New Relic Distributed Tracing is designed to give software teams an easy way to capture, visualise, and analyse traces through complex architectures, including architectures that use both monoliths and microservices.
