Instrumentation and tracing and environment and configuration

In this section, we will learn how to implement instrumentation and tracing and environment and configuration techniques to make the debugging and deployment process a breeze.

Instrumentation and tracing

Instrumentation and tracing are two related concepts in software development that help with monitoring, measuring, and diagnosing the performance and behavior of an application. Instrumentation refers to the ability to add code or annotations to the application that produce trace information, such as function calls, arguments, exceptions, and events, while tracing refers to the process of collecting, analyzing, and displaying the trace information, either in real time or offline, to understand the execution flow, identify bottlenecks, and troubleshoot errors.

Let’s explore the concepts of instrumentation and tracing in detail:
