Tracing in Next.JS - A Highlight.io Live Stream

​If you’re curious about how you can get tracing working in your Next application with several microservices, join us on April 11th at 2pm PDT for a full walkthrough.

​Tracing distributed systems is a complex endeavor.

​​Does your Next.js back-end make calls to a separate service, perhaps written by a different team?

​​Would you like your traces to connect across your entire, distributed call stack?

​​With a few good tooling choices, you can achieve visibility across internal http service calls, generating traces that seamlessly cross service boundaries.

​ ​Outline:

• ​An overview of Distributed Tracing

• ​Common Next.js architectures

• ​An intro to W3C propagation headers

• ​Next.js API route configuration

• ​Highlight middleware configuration for capturing related traces
