From Observability to APM: Taking Cloud Native Up The Stack

Observability is often seen as the new monitoring frontier, but does it truly surpass the traditional APM in microservices performance tracking? The cloud-native observability stack, until recently, focused on tracing individual requests and searching application logs—a far cry from the holistic view provided by APM tools in the monolithic era.

This talk bridges the gap between Observability and APM, dissecting key differences and exploring how initiatives within OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, and CNCF stack address these gaps. Horovits delves into Span Metrics, client-side telemetry, and beyond, sharing insights from open-source projects, vendor perspectives, and the end-user community.

Join this multifaceted discussion to navigate uncharted territory, ponder the necessity of APM's scope in this evolving landscape, and contemplate the evolving roles of vendors in this updated stack. It's an invitation to ignite an open dialogue on propelling the CNCF observability stack - up the stack.
