Question

Is there a performance comparison for enabling Reactor's Context Propagation feature?

Additional info

I've seen a few official articles about this feature, but I haven't found anything specific about how much of a performance impact it has.

• From Spring blog
• micrometer-tracing Spring Cloud Sleuth 3.1 Migration Guide

If anyone has any data on this, I'd love to know.

In Micrometer Tracing?
Since neither context propagation nor Reactor is hosted in this repo, I would say the question is not really applicable.

In Reactor? I'm pretty sure there is a difference (might not be big or measurable) but I think you want to ask this question in Reactor channels. (/cc @chemicL)
We have benchmarks for Micrometer Tracing but we are not benchmarking Reactor or other libraries that instrument themselves using Micrometer modules.

Thanks for your clear and detailed comment @jonatan-ivanov 🙂

As you might have guessed, I'm a newbie in this area and have been struggling with the recent changes to tracing in Spring Boot 3.

Your response helped me understand the points I need to check. Thanks 👍

I'll check the issue you linked. Thanks @chemicL 🙂
