Distributed tracing, Elixir and opentracing.io

[tlvenn]

Hi @fishcakez,

I was wondering if you could share your though on the value props of distributed tracing initiative such as opentracing.io when it comes to Elixir ?

Pretty good intro to opentracing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3sMM6tBbOY

I know it's a relatively new project and by itself Elixir / Phoenix / Ecto is also relatively new but I am a bit surprised to not see such tracer initiative in Elixir or is it that :dbg or more broadly the :runtime_tools already kinda provide these features ? If so, is there any tool to log and query those traces such as Zipkin for example ?

Thanks !
