Recently I caught up with Jamie Allen on Episode 67 of the Slight Reliability podcast to discuss the idea of a single pane of glass (SPOG). Jamie had written an article titled The Single Pain of Glass which coincidentally was what I titled Slight Reliability Episode 10. I thought given our shared use of puns and this topic that it was worth a conversation! So, what is a single pane of glass? Is it an idea with practical application? How does it fit into the world of modern observability?

The shift from traditional monitoring to observability is widespread, and necessary. It's the way we make sense of increasingly complex and distributed systems. But when we capture all this data at scale... what do we do with it all? If this data itself had inherent value, we’d all be rich. But in the real world data does not provide us value until we can act on what it tells us.

Six months ago I attempted to get OpenTelemetry (OTEL) metrics working in JavaScript, and after a couple of days of getting absolutely no-where, I gave up. But here I am, back for more punishment... but this time I found success!

For simplicity, I'm going to export directly to Jaeger (not via the OpenTelemetry Collector).
