Modern Distributed Tracing in .NET: A practical guide to observability and performance analysis for microservices

Instrument .NET apps using OpenTelemetry and explore logs and .NET diagnostic tools to debug, monitor, and analyze the performance of complex systems in the cloud

Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Key Features:

• Get a clear understanding of complex systems using .NET and OpenTelemetry
• Adopt a systematic approach toward performance analysis and debugging
• Explore instrumentation techniques for common distributed patterns

Book Description:

As distributed systems become more complex and dynamic, their observability needs to grow to aid the development of holistic solutions for performance or usage analysis and debugging. Distributed tracing brings structure, correlation, causation, and consistency to your telemetry, thus allowing you to answer arbitrary questions about your system and creating a foundation for observability vendors to build visualizations and analytics.

Modern Distributed Tracing in .NET is your comprehensive guide to observability that focuses on tracing and performance analysis using a combination of telemetry signals and diagnostic tools. You'll begin by learning how to instrument your apps automatically as well as manually in a vendor-neutral way. Next, you'll explore how to produce useful traces and metrics for typical cloud patterns and get insights into your system and investigate functional, configurational, and performance issues. The book is filled with instrumentation examples that help you grasp how to enrich auto-generated telemetry or produce your own to get the level of detail your system needs, along with controlling your costs with sampling, aggregation, and verbosity.

By the end of this book, you'll be ready to adopt and leverage tracing and other observability signals and tools and tailor them to your needs as your system evolves.

What You Will Learn:

• Understand the core concepts of distributed tracing and observability
• Auto-instrument .NET applications with OpenTelemetry
• Manually instrument common scenarios with traces and metrics
• Systematically debug issues and analyze the performance
• Keep performance overhead and telemetry volume under control
• Adopt and evolve observability in your organization

Who this book is for:

This book is for software developers, architects, and systems operators running .NET services who want to use modern observability tools and standards and take a holistic approach to performance analysis and end-to-end debugging. Software testers and support engineers will also find this book useful. Basic knowledge of the C# programming language and .NET platform is assumed to grasp the examples of manual instrumentation, but it is not necessary.

使用 OpenTelemetry 儀表 .NET 應用程式，並探索日誌和 .NET 診斷工具以調試、監控和分析雲端中複雜系統的性能。

購買印刷版或 Kindle 版本的書籍將包含免費的 PDF 電子書。

主要特點：
- 以 .NET 和 OpenTelemetry 了解複雜系統
- 採用系統性方法進行性能分析和調試
- 探索常見分散式模式的儀表技術

書籍描述：
隨著分散式系統變得越來越複雜和動態，它們的可觀察性需要增長，以幫助開發全面性能或使用分析和調試的整體解決方案。分散式追蹤為您的遙測帶來結構、相關性、因果關係和一致性，從而使您能夠回答有關系統的任意問題，並為可觀察性供應商構建可視化和分析的基礎。

《現代 .NET 分散式追蹤》是您的全面可觀察性指南，重點介紹使用遙測信號和診斷工具進行追蹤和性能分析。您將首先學習如何以供應商中立的方式自動或手動儀表化應用程式。接下來，您將探索如何為典型的雲端模式生成有用的追蹤和指標，並獲得有關系統的洞察，並調查功能、配置和性能問題。本書充滿了儀表化示例，幫助您了解如何豐富自動生成的遙測或生成自己的遙測，以獲得系統所需的詳細信息，並通過採樣、聚合和冗長性控制成本。

通過閱讀本書，您將準備好採用和利用追蹤和其他可觀察性信號和工具，並根據系統的演變調整它們以滿足您的需求。

學到什麼：
- 理解分散式追蹤和可觀察性的核心概念
- 使用 OpenTelemetry 自動儀表化 .NET 應用程式
- 使用追蹤和指標手動儀表化常見情境
- 系統性地調試問題並分析性能
- 控制性能開銷和遙測量
- 在組織中採用和演進可觀察性

本書適合軟體開發人員、架構師和運營人員運行 .NET 服務，他們希望使用現代可觀察性工具和標準，並針對性能分析和端到端調試採取整體方法。軟體測試人員和支援工程師也會發現本書有用。假設您對 C# 程式語言和 .NET 平台有基本了解，以理解手動儀表化的示例，但這不是必需的。
