OpenTelemetry Workshop

OpenTelemetry is a CNCF open-source project. It can help you analyze your software’s performance and behavior by generating, collecting, and exporting telemetry data from your application. OpenTelemetry is getting more and more attention as it becomes the industry standard for distributed tracing and observability.

With more than 50 repositories on GitHub and a bunch of SDKs and APIs, it can look overwhelming, but once you understand the different components it is built of, it can be powerful and easy to use.

This session will introduce the fundamentals of OpenTelemetry and how to use it to get traces from your app. We will build an application, instrument it with OpenTelemetry, and analyze it on a UI backend.

After this session, you will be able to understand how to add auto instrumentation to get distributed traces from your code. Collect and present them on a backend UI and analyze them to debug your application.

Requirements:

- Basic knowledge of Python
- Laptop

How To Troubleshoot and Monitor Production Applications using OpenTelemetry

Troubleshooting and monitoring applications were always a pain point for development teams. These can be even more challenging in distributed systems and microservices architecture. OpenTelemetry provides a set of utilities and SDKs to help deal with those challenges without locking your entire business to a specific vendor. This session will overview monitoring and observability core concepts and terminology. We will go through what OpenTelemetry is and the different tools and SDKs it offers. After this session, you will have the information needed to leverage OpenTelemetry to gain better visibility of your production environment.
