As I've been working on more complex Web3 and DevOps projects, I've found myself gravitating towards distributed tracing for monitoring and debugging. The ability to track requests across multiple services and systems has been invaluable in identifying bottlenecks and issues. However, I've noticed that some of my colleagues still swear by centralized logging, citing its simplicity and ease of use. I believe that distributed tracing offers more benefits in the long run, despite its steeper learning curve.
I've seen firsthand how distributed tracing can help pinpoint issues that would be difficult or impossible to identify with centralized logging alone. But I'm curious to hear from other developers: have you had a different experience with these two approaches? Do you think centralized logging is still the way to go, or have you also found distributed tracing to be a game-changer? I'd love to hear about your experiences and challenges with both approaches, especially if you've worked on projects with multiple microservices or complex system architectures.
