HTTP Tracing in N|Solid [4/10] The best APM for Node, layer by layer

In Node.js, you can centralize tracing information generated by V8, Js code, and userspace code. Directly in the APMs, tracing means that you will have a detail of each flow in your application's process; this means that you will have records available of each time a function is called or a database or external information is called. With tracing, you will have a way to capture, visualize and analyze traces across complex architectures, including architectures that use monoliths and microservices.
