OpenTelemetry, Not Just for Production Troubleshooting

OpenTelemetry, Not Just for Production Troubleshooting: How to Prevent Downtime as Early as Local Dev OpenTelemetry is a great tool for observability and debugging in production. It provides you with data that empowers understanding of what is slow or broken, as well as what you can do to fix problems that occur in production. But what if you could leverage those same OpenTelemetry capabilities in pre-production? What if you could use those capabilities during development and testing phases to proactively prevent downtime in production?

Conditional Distributed Tracing

Distributed tracing is generally a binary affair—it's off or on. Either a trace is sampled or, according to a flag, it's not. Span placement is also assumed to be an "always-on" system where spans are always added if the trace is active. For general availability and service-level objectives, this is usually good enough. But when we encounter problems, we need more. In this talk, I'll show you how to "turn up the dial" with detailed diagnostic spans and span events that are inserted using dynamic conditions.

Observability is More Fun With Friends: Stories From OpenTelemetry Collaboration

Panel Guests: Amy Tobey | Equinix Metal, Andrew Hayworth | GitHub, Liz Fong-Jones | Honeycomb, Ted Young | Lightstep The modern open source landscape is hard enough, given the (sometimes) conflicting interests of commercial partners, end-users, and project maintainers. It takes a real, intentional effort to build collaborative relationships across these groups in order to make improvements to projects. In this panel, we'll share stories about what's worked from our involvement in OpenTelemetry as maintainers, community representatives, and end-users.

Cloud Native Goes Native with Charity Majors and David McKay

Cloud-native and serverless technologies are gaining traction as organizations increasingly recognize the value of containers and Kubernetes in application development environments. As a result, the cloud-native ecosystem is growing at a healthy pace. In this topic spotlight, we take a look at the cloud-native landscape and discuss its impact on DevOps, application security and more. Some of the issues discussed during the webinar include.
