In a world of microservices, serverless functions, and sprawling cloud architectures, a single user request can splinter into hundreds of invisible operations across dozens of services.

No PhD in distributed systems required. Whether you’re tracing your first Lambda invocation or wrangling a 10,000-span monolith, this book distills the signal from the noise—so you can spend less time guessing and more time building.
