### What's Distributed Tracing?
1212

13-
Distributed tracing enables you to trace and visualize interactions between multiple instrumented services, allowing you to identify performance bottlenecks that are affecting your application no matter where (frontend, backend, other) they're coming from. You can then use the Sentry [Trace Explorer](/product/explore/traces/) and [Trace View](/concepts/key-terms/tracing/trace-view/) to dig deeper to find the root cause. Distributed tracing is particularly helpful for identifying problems you can't just debug using console logs, such as race conditions, [N+1](/product/issues/issue-details/performance-issues/n-one-queries/), and [caching issues](product/insights/caches/).

While Sentry tracing can be useful if instrumented in just the frontend or the backend, it's most powerful when set up for your full stack (distributed tracing). This is especially true if you use microservices. Even if you mostly work on the frontend, frontend problems often require backend fixes, and setting up Sentry for your backend can help you find the root cause of a problem faster. Distributed tracing also helps you understand how different parts of the system interact.
