Dev Fest Atlanta 2024 Talk: Modern Application Debugging: An Introduction to OpenTelemetry
In this talk, Joshua will share his insights and experiences with OpenTelemetry, an open-source project that offers protocols, APIs, and SDKs for collecting metrics, traces, and logs from applications and services. He will cover the comprehensive toolkit provided by the OpenTelemetry community, including language SDKs, the Collector, and the OTLP formats for metrics, traces, and logs.
He will demonstrate how to instrument and monitor a microservices application running on a Kubernetes cluster, utilizing the full potential of OpenTelemetry. Attendees will learn how to use powerful open-source tools like Jaeger and Prometheus to effectively analyze telemetry signals from their applications.
By the end of this session, attendees will have a solid understanding of how to implement OpenTelemetry in their projects, enhancing their debugging and observability practices. Join us as we delve into the world of OpenTelemetry, unlocking the capabilities of this powerful technology for your development needs.
JSConf Mexico 2024: Collect, Ingest, Observe: A New Era for (free) JS Monitoring!
Monitoring JavaScript applications might seem like a formidable challenge, but it's time for a change in perspective. This session is set to demystify the complexities of observability, paving a clear and impactful path to proficiency with OpenTelemetry (OTel) alongside a selection of powerful open-source tools (Grafana & ClickHouse).
Prepare to easily navigate the intricate waters of observability, as we guide you through the essentials of collecting comprehensive telemetry data for insightful visibility into your application's performance and health. We'll explore the synergistic power of OTel and the JavaScript ecosystem, further enhanced by other OSS tools and a real-time DB. This combination will ensure you never miss what is happening within your applications, but what is better: it achieves this without wasting thousands (or even millions) of dollars on third-party services.
