How an application behaves in production is increasingly important as deployment architectures have become increasingly complex and distributed. For this meeting we're going to do a presentation and mini workshop on Distributed Tracing using APM. We'll talk about and walk through a demo application to show how you can implement a tracing architecture starting in the browser, and track the detailed log of an action across systems and services.

Bring your computers if you like and we'll have a sample github repo to clone that will be ready to set up with multiple microservices and we'll look at how distributed tracing is set up and can help you track performance metrics across a distributed architecture.
