My demo of OpenTelemetry Tracing features two Spring Boot components. One uses the Java agent, and I noticed a different behavior when I recently upgraded it from v1.x to v2.x. In the other one, I’m using Micrometer Tracing because I compile to GraalVM native, and it can’t process Java agents.

I want to compare these three different ways in this post: Java agent v1, Java agent v2, and Micrometer Tracing.
