Nicolas Fränkel 🇺🇦🇬🇪Last week, I described several approaches to <a href="https://mastodon.top/tags/OpenTelemetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenTelemetry</a> on the JVM, their requirements, and their different results. This week, I want to highlight several <a href="https://mastodon.top/tags/gotchas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gotchas</a> found across stacks in the zero-code instrumentation.<a href="https://blog.frankel.ch/opentelemetry-gotchas/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.frankel.ch/opentelemetry-gotchas/</a>

HabrКак я раздул из гофера слона или история распределенного сократителя ссылокВполне 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.
