Cloud Trace

Cloud Trace, a distributed tracing system for Google Cloud, helps you understand how long it takes your application to handle incoming requests from users or other applications, and how long it takes to complete operations like RPC calls performed when handling the requests. Cloud Trace can also help you when you are developing a service or troubleshooting a failure. For example, it can help you understand how requests are processed in a complicated microservices architecture, and it might help you identify which logs to examine.

Because Cloud Trace receives latency data from some Google Cloud services, such as

App Engine⁠

, and from applications instrumented with the

Cloud Trace API⁠

, it can help you answer the following questions:

How long does it take my application to handle a given request?

Why is it taking my application so long to handle a request?

Why do some of my requests take longer than others?

What is the overall latency of requests to my application?

Has latency for my application increased or decreased over time?

What can I do to reduce application latency?

What are my application's dependencies?
