Opencensus: Your Guide to Getting Started
We also updated a few posts, like this one on Opencensus. Debugging problems in a distributed system is not an easy task, especially when the application is running in production and not all of your customers are having problems. But as was once said on Twitter, if debugging is hard, it’s “probably because you aren’t instrumenting your code enough.” Instrumentation is how your applications produce the events that will help you to have a better understanding of a problem when debugging in production. At debugging time, it’s too late to regret not including more debug code lines in the application. That’s why you need to instrument your code with OpenCensus as soon as possible—so that when debugging time comes around, you’ll have everything you need. Learn more on Scalyr’s blog.
