Katacoda Courses

Katacoda is an interactive learning and training platform for software developers. It allows you to learn and explore new technologies using hands-on labs in your browser, using real environments, without any downloads or configuration.

The OpenTracing community has started creating OpenTracing courses on Katacoda so that developers can evaluate the technology and see how distributed tracing can be used to observe a microservice application.

We also welcome contributions of additional OpenTracing Katacoda scenarios. You can find our Katacoda scenario source on GitHub. Visit the Katacoda docs to learn more about creating Katacoda scenarios.
