Exploring OpenTelemetry. Modern System Monitoring

The emergence of OpenTelemetry has revolutionized the field of observability. Instead of using several disparate systems, OpenTelemetry integrates traces, metrics, and logs into a unified data stream, providing the ability to assess previously inaccessible relationships between them. This practical guide shows how to set up, use, and diagnose the OpenTelemetry observability system.
Authors Ted Young and Austin Parker, leaders, founders, and contributors to the OpenTelemetry project, present all components of OpenTelemetry, as well as best practices for observability for many popular cloud services, platforms, and data services, such as Kubernetes and AWS Lambda. You will learn how OpenTelemetry enables services and OSS libraries to create their own native instrumentation – a first in the industry.
