About:
OpenTracing-Cpp provides a vendor-neutral API for distributed tracing instrumentation. It allows developers to instrument their C++ applications without locking into a specific tracing implementation. This enables consistent observability across microservices and complex systems.
Key Features:
  • Vendor-neutral tracing API
  • Context propagation across services
  • Scope and Span management
  • C++11 standard compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Instrumenting high-performance C++ microservices
  • Distributed system debugging and analysis
  • Performance bottleneck identification
Alternatives:
  • OpenTelemetry C++ – OpenTelemetry is the merged standard that supersedes OpenTracing with broader signal support
