Last week, I described several approaches to #OpenTelemetry on the JVM, their requirements, and their different results. This week, I want to highlight several #gotchas found across stacks in the zero-code instrumentation.

Jessica Garson turned observability confusion into one of her most valuable skills. With open telemetry, she ensures live demos run smoothly—and keeps her creativity flowing from Python to noise music.

Good grief #OpenTelemetry dependencies in #golang are a nightmare. And they just break each other on the regular :(
New blog post! #OpenTelemetry in Practice: Alibaba's OpenTelemetry Journey
OpenTelemetry · OTel in Practice: Alibaba's OpenTelemetry JourneyIn the latest session of OTel in Practice, engineers Huxing Zhang and Steve Rao shared Alibaba’s journey adopting OpenTelemetry within their services.
The discussion focused on a wide range of topics, from Java agents to Go compile-time instrumentation, and of course Gen-AI observability!
Focusing on Java, Alibaba initially used an in-house solution based on Pinpoint, but faced limitations with framework support and asynchronous context propagation. It was then that they decided to migrate to OpenTelemetry to leverage its strong ecosystem and status as an industry standard.
I've managed to find time between summer events to play around with client instrumentation in #opentelemetry #otel for web. It's been really fun! I've been able to reflect on how it would have given useful insights for #monitoring, UI outage investigations and tracking feature adoption in my prior frontend engineer life.
If you want to learn the state of client instrumentation and how to use it to capture logs, metrics and traces, check out my piece

Как я раздул из гофера слона или история распределенного сократителя ссылок
Вполне логично предположить, что сократитель ссылок — довольно простой сервис как с точки зрения пользователя, так и под капотом. Но что, если, взяв за основу такую простую задачу, построить целую распределенную систему? Мой шортенер начинался как простая практика с Go и gRPC после всех ОГЭ:), где должно было быть 3 сервиса: тг бот, API gateway и ядро. Но с каждым днем идей все больше, энтузиазм растёт, я стал делать упор на высокие нагрузки, и постепенно мини‑практика начала становиться боевой event-driven машиной. В этой статье я хотел бы подметить интересную мысль: даже самая простая вещь может быть реализована сложно. Погрузиться в архитектуру

There's a team that decided to rewrite #OpenTelemetry Collector in Rust.
The result is the #Rotel project.
This project is one of the highlights from the 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 + 𝗢𝗧𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 by the #CNCF.
Check out the recap of the OpenObservability Talk podcast for this and more highlights:

Added hackily added #opentelemetry to #ActivityRelay to see if it could help me debug an issue I am having using the tracing stuff.
I have stuff going into Grafana Tempo, but I have no clue what I am looking at. 
How do you trace a user’s journey through a maze of microservices?

#Observability #OpenTelemetry #PlatformEngineering
You may know I’m a big fan of #OpenTelemetry. I recently finished developing a master class for the YOW! conference at the end of the year. During development, I noticed massive differences in configuration and results across programming languages. Even worse, differences exist across frameworks inside the same programming language.
In this post, I want to compare the different zero-code OpenTelemetry approaches on the #JVM, covering the most widespread.
Контентный модуль APM на OpenTelemetry — архитектура, метрики, выводы
В статье рассматривается применение трассировок стандарта OpenTelemetry для реализации инструментов мониторинга микросервисов на базе продукта Smart Monitor. Решаются задачи инвентаризации сервисов и ресурсов, анализа трассировок и формирования модели здоровья микросервисных архитектур.

OpenTelemetry Collector users — we want to hear from you (again)!
Last year, we did a survey to learn how you’re using the Collector. The response shaped a lot of our thinking. Now we’re back with a quick follow-up.
Tell us what’s changed, what’s working, and what’s still rough.
Google DocsOTel Collector Follow-up SurveyThis follow-up survey helps the OTel Collector SIG track how usage patterns and needs have evolved since our previous survey. Your responses will help us see what's working, what's changed, and where we should focus our efforts next.
📅 It will run for one month from the day it's published.
⌚ It will only take a few minutes to complete.
The OpenTelemetry plugin for Rider looks promising

www.damirscorner.comOpenTelemetry collection in RiderWhen JetBrains announced the availability of an OpenTelemetry plugin for Rider, I decided to give it a try. I've examined the options for OpenTelemetry collection during development in the past and was curious how the new offering from JetBrains will compare.
