Enabling deep insights through OpenTelemetry
In today’s complex distributed systems landscape, understanding how our applications behave and perform is crucial for maintaining reliability and performance. We will now take a look at another useful monitoring tool readily available. OpenTelemetry is a pivotal tool for gaining profound insights into the functionality and performance of distributed systems. OpenTelemetry, often referred to as OTel, provides a standardized approach to collect and correlate data across various components of the system.
By incorporating OpenTelemetry into your Go applications, you can seamlessly capture telemetry data, including traces, metrics, and logs, to gain a holistic understanding of your system’s operation. Let’s take a look at the three main pillars OpenTelemetry encompasses:
- Tracing allows us to track the flow of requests as they travel through different services and components, providing invaluable insights into...
