OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing with TSOA

[erangac]

Does TSOA include built-in functionality for context management? For example, is there support for accessing the traceId from incoming HTTP requests, adding new spans, or propagating the current context to a new service?

What is the recommended approach for implementing these context management features in TSOA?

Sure, depending on the framework you target, you can write your own middleware/plugin that does that, or use the ones provided, for example tsoa for express (the default), you would want to check out:

In this particular scenario, it appears that manual context propagation is necessary. I am referring to a process similar to the following.

It would be beneficial to have a standardized mechanism provided by TSOA for this purpose.
