Rust Observability with tracing: Spans, Events, and Correlation IDs

A practical two-hour session on Rust Observability with tracing, focused on Spans, Events, and Correlation IDs. Rust is used as the implementation context while the core lesson stays on software engineering fundamentals, reliability, testing, and operational clarity.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Rust Observability with tracing
• Apply Spans in a small working example
• Apply Events in a small working example
• Apply and Correlation IDs in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
