Traceparent: How OpenTelemetry Connects Your Microservices

In a microservices setup, tracking a single request across services quickly gets complex. One service calls another, then a third, and your logs don’t line up. The traceparent header carries context between services, so all parts of a request connect back to the start. For example, when a frontend sends a request to an API, which then calls a database service, traceparent it links those calls in the trace. Without it, you’re left guessing how requests flow.
