Everyone needs to know how to trace

What's this blog post about?

Tracing is the process of tracking the flow of execution within an application, enabling developers to monitor requests and provide detailed insights into performance, bottlenecks, and errors. It helps pinpoint the root cause of issues and ensures a clear understanding of how different parts of the system interact. Tracing can be used to identify elusive performance issues, investigate reported issues, proactively debug code, find the root cause of non-performance issues such as errors and session crashes, learn unfamiliar codebases, and get started with tracing by selecting resources from Sentry's documentation.
