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

Dynatrace

In this OpenTelemetry demo series, we’ll take an in-depth look at how to use OpenTelemetry to add observability to a distributed web application that originally didn’t know anything about tracing, telemetry, or observability. These observations and insights are all far beyond what classic logging typically provides.

I was an independent performance consultant and Sun Microsystems had just released DTrace, a tool that could instrument all software. This gave performance analysts like myself X-ray vision. He was kind enough to give me a quick demo anyway.

The road to observability demo part 3: Collect, instrument, and analyze telemetry data automatically with Dynatrace

Dynatrace

Making applications observable—relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and how it’s performing—has become increasingly important as workloads are shifting to multicloud environments. We also introduced our demo app and explained how to define the metrics and traces it uses.

Shift right in software development: Adapting observability for a seamless development experience

Dynatrace

Today, engineers are spending an increasing amount of time developing and testing code in production-like environments. Developers, normally confined to the cocoon of the coding stage, find themselves thrust into production-like environments that are rife with intricate dependencies and broad-scale issues. It’s a big deal.)
