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

Dynatrace

MAY 17, 2023

But as more workloads are shifting to hundreds of separate cloud-based services running in containers across multiple platforms, observability has become exponentially more difficult. Traditionally, organizations have relied solely on logging to monitor how applications perform, and that – generally – works fine in many cases.
