Tracer
A collection of OpenTracing utilities, instrumentations, and extensions for Java applications, now in maintenance mode.
What is Tracer?
OpenTracing Toolbox is a collection of Java libraries that provide utilities, instrumentations, and extensions for the OpenTracing distributed tracing framework. It solves the problem of extending OpenTracing with production-ready components for specific use cases like JDBC tracing, Spring integration, and header propagation. The project is now in maintenance mode as OpenTracing has been archived, with users encouraged to migrate to OpenTelemetry.
Java developers and teams implementing distributed tracing in microservices architectures using the OpenTracing standard. Particularly useful for organizations needing specific extensions like FlowID compatibility or enhanced Spring integration.
Developers choose OpenTracing Toolbox because it provides production-tested, specialized extensions to OpenTracing with sensible defaults and minimal configuration. It offers direct alternatives to some opentracing-contrib modules with potentially better integration for specific use cases.
