What is the OpenTracing standard?
OpenTracing ( http://opentracing.io/ ) enables developers to easily add (or replace) tracking system implementations by providing platform-independent and vendor-independent APIs. OpenTracing is providing a unified concept and data standard for distributed tracing around the world.
What level of standard is the OpenTracing standard?
OpenTracing comes from the famous CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation, https://www.cncf.io/ ). If you are relatively unfamiliar with this name, you must know kubernetes ( http://kubernetes.io/ ), another heavyweight project of this foundation.
As OpenTracing entered the CNCF, the standard has become increasingly sought after by open source and commercial teams.
Which companies and teams have started following OpenTracing?
Companies: UBER, LightStep, Apple, yelp, workiva and more
Open source team: ZIPKIN, appdash, TRACER, JAEGER, GRPC and more
Where does OpenTracing's Contributor come from?

As the owner and developer of sky-walking tracer, I actively participated in the learning and communication process of the protocol in the first year of drafting the protocol, and was honored to be a member of the official team.
What does OpenTracing define?
The standard of OpenTracing is still in its infancy and is being continuously improved. Currently, various concepts such as tracer, span, spanContext, propagation, etc. are defined, and corresponding operations.
How to learn the OpenTracing standard?
- Learn directly through the official documentation http://opentracing.io/documentation/ (English version)
- As the only Chinese member of the organization (as of now), I provide you with a simplified Chinese translation https://wu-sheng.gitbooks.io/opentracing-io/content/ . Due to unstable access to the release address of gitbook in China, you can also download or reprint directly through the gitbook project homepage https://www.gitbook.com/book/wu-sheng/opentracing-io/details
Note: Any translation of the Chinese version of OpenTracing should be reprinted:
