OpenTelemetry and Continuous Feedback - Roni Dover

Continuous Feedback is a new dev practice, that addresses a gap in the dev-to-prod cycle. While a considerable amount of data is collected about the application and its behavior in prod, very little of that is effectively put to use when we write code.
By using #OpenTelemetry, as well as open-source tools and platforms, developers can leverage metrics and traces to challenge code assumptions and develop based on real-world requirements. A continuous, data-driven process can help extend code ownership all the way to production and beyond. Observability, after all, can be about more than pretty dashboards.
This talk is relevant to any Java Developer seeking to understand how to use current observability technologies effectively in a way that can make an impact on the dev process, improve code quality, and detect possible defects faster. We'll explore practical techniques, tools, and practices that can be combined to create a Continuous Feedback pipeline.
