Scale By The Bay 2021 : Tim Condon, Distributed Tracing with Swift

ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference Large applications invariably involve complexity somewhere. One solution to managing this complexity is to split the application up into small microservices. However debugging errors and problems with microservices can be difficult without the right tools. In this talk we’ll cover the basics of distributed tracing and why we might want to use it. We’ll cover how to implement it in Swift and see how some of the upcoming concurrency language features make this even easier.
