Security Observability: Why Tracing?

Traceable is the first API Security platform that has given customers a way to visualize the various paths of API calls, which makes it easier to discover and manage the risk exposure of anomalous user and API behaviors.

Distributed tracing is a form of observability that is specifically adapted to microservice architectures. It allows you to observe each request traveling through the system from its beginning to its end. Tracing especially helps to improve performance and helps security teams understand what typical behavior looks like.
