Opentelemetry is a lot more than that. It can handle traces across services.

You can log and use a tool like AWS LogInsights to see the trace across services..

No code changes needed.

Great, so now link each request across services, combined with the timings of each individual component within each service. LogInsights is for logging, not tracing. Logging is not a replacement for tracing.

link request with X-Amzn-Trace-Id https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/appl... and yes you will have timings also in the structured log.

I am effectively getting trace level insights from my logs. I must be doing something wrong!
