Workers Traces
Enabling and configuring automatic OpenTelemetry-compliant tracing for Cloudflare Workers to monitor fetch calls, binding interactions, and handler lifecycles.
When To Use
Use when you need to enable end-to-end request visibility, debug performance bottlenecks in subrequests, or export Worker telemetry to third-party platforms like Honeycomb or Grafana.
