Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll use the Istio service mesh to automatically generate tracing spans for the microservices in the eCommerce application. Istio installs a sidecar proxy for each microservice that runs in the service mesh. That proxy intercepts the HTTP requests between microservices, generating a span for each request. This method avoids the need to write large amounts of tracing code, and is an excellent choice when working with legacy systems or small development teams.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
