While there are numerous benefits to Event-Driven Architecture, like improved productivity, flexibility, and scalability, they also pose a few disadvantages, such as the complexity of measuring end-to-end latency and identifying bottlenecks in specific services.

This talk shows you how to produce telemetry from your services using an open standard to retain control of data. OpenTelemetry allows you to instrument your application code through vendor-neutral APIs, libraries, and tools. It provides the tools necessary for you to gain visibility into the performance of your services and overall latency.

Anton will share his experience building high-throughput services and strategies to use distributed tracing in an optimal way and without affecting the overall performance of the services.
