This has been what I've been working on for nearly a year now, super excited to finally do the first release of Automatic Tracing. Starting today anyone with Observability enabled will automatically get traces generated for their Workers that are present in the Cloudflare dashboard and can be sent to third party observability providers. We've had internal teams and select customers using this for a while and they've been able to make good performance gains through the increased understanding of what's happening in their Worker. But, today's release is only the first of many. There are several things that we didn't have time to include in this first release like context propagation for distributed tracing, user-created spans, even span events, or even some CF bindings we didn't get to instrument. All of these gaps are on the tracing roadmap and will be released as they're ready, but in the meantime there's still a lot of useful data for those that have Workers in production.
