Distributed Microservice Tracing with Custom Instrumentation

microservices tracing observability performance
Prompt
Develop a custom distributed tracing library for Node.js microservices that can automatically instrument async operations across service boundaries. The solution should generate unique trace IDs, capture detailed performance metrics, and support automatic context propagation through message queues and HTTP/gRPC calls. Implement custom middleware that works with Express.js and can export traces to OpenTelemetry-compatible backends.
