The road to observability with OpenTelemetry demo part 1: Identifying metrics and traces

Dynatrace

That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags. OpenTelemetry, the open source observability tool, has emerged as an industry-standard solution for instrumenting application telemetry data to make it observable. What is OpenTelemetry?

Performance Testing with Open Source Tools – Myths and Reality

Alex Podelko

Some time ago Federico Toledo published Performance Testing with Open Source Tools- Busting The Myths. Otherwise we wouldn’t see so many commercial tools built on the top of open source including BlazeMeter (it is ironic that the article is posted on the BlazeMeter site), Flood, and OctoPerf.

Feature flags done right with the OpenFeature initiative and Dynatrace

Dynatrace

Feature flags work by building dedicated feature branches into code that make functionality available to certain user groups simultaneously. Because it’s open source, OpenFeature eliminates the need for organizations to build their own proprietary SDKs and APIs. Experience an OpenTelemetry-based in-browser demo of OpenFeature.
