Lab Overview
This hands-on lab teaches you how to implement context propagation to maintain trace continuity across service boundaries.
You'll learn to:
- Understand how trace context is structured and propagated
- Propagate context between services using HTTP headers
- Implement custom propagators for specific use cases
- Trace requests across different system boundaries
Context propagation is essential for distributed tracing and is a core topic for the OTCA certification exam.
