Needs adviceonOpenTracingOpenTracing

We use OpenTracing because we have a complex distributed system that we want to instrument, and also monitor, and we want to use the idea to handle these topics in an abstract way, independent on the technology. We actually started with OpenTracing but deferred choosing the technical implementation for later, which is pretty cool.
