OpenTelemetry vs Prometheus is a commonly searched and debated topic in the Observability and monitoring space. While both platforms are widely used in software and infrastructure management today, most people don’t understand the difference between the two. Both platforms stand as robust tools in the realm of observability, each offering unique capabilities. OpenTelemetry offers a uniform approach for gathering, instrumenting, and exporting telemetry data.

Cisco AppDynamics is making big strides in enabling both application performance and security monitoring for OpenTelemetry. Learn what we’ve done so far. When DevOps began taking hold around 2007, it was meant as a mechanism to remove silos between IT teams and accelerate software development.

The OpenTelemetry Collector is a core part of telemetry pipelines, which makes it one of the parts of your infrastructure that must be as secure as possible. The general advice from the OpenTelemetry teams is to build a custom Collector executable instead of using the supplied ones when you’re using it in a production scenario. However, that isn’t an easy task, and that prompted me to build something.

Kubernetes is a top container orchestration platform. The Kubernetes clusters manage everything much from collecting to storing vast magnitudes of data from your multiple applications.

Now if you are asked to pick out one particular type from it within a small time frame, I know you will totally dread it.

Monitoring and observing application performance is a cornerstone for maintaining robust and efficient systems in the ever-evolving development landscape. One key player in this domain is OpenTelemetry. This post provides a comprehensive tutorial and unpacks what OpenTelemetry is, its applications and integration into the JavaScript ecosystem.
