Distributed Tracing Basics
Follow requests across services
Tracing propagates trace and span IDs across services, recording timing and metadata to visualize call paths, find bottlenecks, and correlate with logs and metrics.

Propagate IDs
Add trace/span IDs to requests; standardize headers (e.g., W3C).
Instrument
Wrap key calls; include db/cache spans with timings.
Use
View traces to debug latency and errors; sample wisely.

API Basics
APIs let software request data or actions from other systems through defined endpoints and responses.
Comparison
RAM vs Storage
RAM handles what your device is actively working on, while storage keeps apps, files, and system data available over time.
How it works
Global Positioning System
GPS uses timing signals from satellites to calculate a receiver's position on Earth.
What it is
Blockchain
A blockchain is a distributed ledger secured by cryptography and consensus nodes.
