Tracing Fundamentals: Spans, Boundaries, Latency, and Root Cause Analysis

A practical two-hour session on Tracing Fundamentals, focused on Spans, Boundaries, Latency, and Root Cause Analysis. Attendees work through concrete engineering tradeoffs, review examples, and leave with a checklist they can apply in real team projects.

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

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Tracing Fundamentals
• Apply Spans in a small working example
• Apply Boundaries in a small working example
• Apply Latency 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.
