traceIDer
traceIDer is a software library and runtime component designed to generate, propagate, and manage trace identifiers in distributed systems to enable end-to-end tracing across microservices. It provides a centralized approach to generating unique trace IDs and maintaining their continuity as requests traverse multiple services, ensuring consistent correlation of logs, metrics, and traces.
The core functionality includes generation of unique trace IDs, support for hierarchical trace contexts with parent
Architecture and design of traceIDer are typically modular. A core ID generator creates trace identifiers, while
Implementation and usage commonly involve integrating traceIDer via middleware or interceptors to automatically inject and extract
