Agreed. Lightweight, distributed tracing in real-time creates a feedback loop that can in turn inform design of your application. Even if you are only hosting a dozen microservice nodes, instead of 1000s. And if you have familiarity with Golang channel patterns such as timeouts, retrys, etc. It is sort of like second nature.

Expect more on the state of the art as KubeCon vids come online ;)
