Using OpenTelemetry Traces to observe your Hasura-powered applications

This blog post discusses using OpenTelemetry Traces to observe Hasura-powered applications. It explains that traces are used to find problems in an application and provide end-to-end visibility into a system's operations by tracing requests through all the different services. A span is an operation that represents a part of the workflow. The post also covers how Hasura has instrumented code for API queries, mutations, and subscriptions with traces for its Cloud and Enterprise products in the OpenTelemetry format. It provides instructions on how to get started by configuring Hasura to send traces to an OTLP endpoint and using observability tools like DataDog, New Relic, Dynatrace, and Sumo Logic to analyze and monitor traces.
