As stated in Chapter 8, Scaling Up with Cloud Streams, communication between services is an essential part of a distributed system operation and some problems can not be resolved without the full picture of the data flow. However, taking all the complexity of communications in a distributed system into account, such capturing is a very complicated task. Fortunately, Spring Cloud provides an excellent module called spring-cloud-sleuth. Spring Cloud Sleuth is a project well-integrated with Spring Boot 2.x infrastructure, ...
