What should the content of the short?

With the Practical Introduction to Observability course, I recommend using Distributed Tracing as the critical pillar of observability. But where did it come from?

In 2010, Ben Sigelman, with others, released a paper on a system they built called "Dapper: A large scale distributed systems tracing infrastructure". Twitter engineers read this and implemented a similar system called "Zipkin". Uber engineers also read the Dapper paper and consumed Twitter's work but later built on it to produce Jaeger. The primitive of "Tracing" was standardized by these colleagues via OpenTracing and then later with metrics and logs in OpenTelemetry.
