# package tracing

`package tracing` provides [Dapper][]-style request tracing to services.
An implementation exists for [Zipkin][]; [Appdash][] support is planned.

## Rationale

Request tracing is a fundamental building block for large distributed
applications. It's instrumental in understanding request flows, identifying
hot spots, and diagnosing errors. All microservice infrastructures will
benefit from request tracing; sufficiently large infrastructures will require
it.
