You've likely heard about OpenTelemetry and are either starting to use it, or thinking about using it in your applications as you should! But how do you use it effectively, how should you set things up, what spans or activities should you create, how should you name them?
In this talk we'll cover:
Codeless instrumentation for Logs, Metrics and Tracing
Getting automatic spans and metrics from popular libraries
What application context is important in your observability
Different setup techniques
Using OpenTelemetry in messaging systems like Azure ServiceBus and Kafka
How to export your telemetry signals to an Free OpenSource backend
How K8s can make observability simpler
This will be a talk about best practices, tips and tricks for getting the most out of OpenTelemetry.
