Distributed tracing is a mechanism to track requests through a network of distributed systems in order to create transparency and shed light on the sometimes complex interactions and behavior of those systems. For example in a cloud-based microservice architecture a single request can touch dozens or hundreds of servers as it spreads out in a tree-like fashion. Without distributed tracing it would be very difficult to identify which part(s) of such a complex system were causing performance issues - either in general or for that request in particular. Distributed tracing provides the capability for near-realtime monitoring or historical analysis of interactions between servers given the necessary tools to collect and interpret the traces. It allows you to easily see where applications are spending their time - e.g. is it mostly in-application work, or is it mostly waiting for downstream network calls?. Distributed tracing can also be used in some cases for error debugging and problem investigations with some caveats. See the relevant section for more information on this topic.
