Description

Learn to gain holistic insights into distributed systems through OpenTelemetry.

Managing the reliability and performance of complex software systems introduces significant challenges. Application logs alone are insufficient for debugging and analyzing the internal behaviors of distributed systems.

Observability software and services provide more robust tools and techniques. OpenTelemetry is a vendor-neutral open-source project consisting of tooling for the: instrumentation, collection, and export of key system insights.

At the end of this lab, you'll be able to:

  • Explain the benefits of observability
  • Describe the pillars of observability
  • Implement OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation
  • Implement OpenTelemetry instrumentation
  • Implement OpenTelemetry metrics
