Contributions summary:Andor primarily focused on implementing distributed tracing functionality within the Datadog Python APM client for Flask applications. Their work involved adding features to automatically trace requests, including the correct propagation of tracing headers. They made adjustments to ensure proper handling of trace and parent IDs, and integrated with the requests library to propagate tracing context across outgoing HTTP requests. These changes improved the application's ability to track requests across services, providing valuable insights for observability.
