Analyze the root causes and business impact of production issues with Trace Queries

This article discusses how to effectively trace requests through complex, event-driven architectures using distributed tracing. It explains the difference between parent-child spans (for direct request/response flows) and span links (for correlating events across services without direct dependency), emphasizing choosing the right method to accurately represent the flow of a transaction. Properly utilizing these techniques is crucial for debugging, performance monitoring, and understanding the interactions within asynchronous systems.
