Alternatives: DBOS & Inngest

When I need to observe the progress of a specific workflow execution across a distributed set of microservices, how do Catalyst, DBOS, and Inngest propagate trace context for integrating with distributed tracing systems like OpenTelemetry?

Catalyst leverages Dapr’s built-in OpenTelemetry propagation for workflow steps, enriching spans with Catalyst metadata. DBOS can inject user-provided trace headers into database transactions. Inngest Cloud emits events that can be consumed by tracing backends, but as of the verification date, public documentation does not list built-in trace context propagation; confirm with the vendor. Integrations require manual instrumentation to capture full end-to-end traces.
