Securing Seasonal Revenue Through Intelligent RevOps and AdOps Automation

The holiday shopping rush from Black Friday through the post-season clearance wave brings huge revenue opportunities. The National Retail Federation projects US holiday spending in 2025 to cross $1.01 trillion, a year-on-year rise of 3.7–4.2%. With this kind of volume on the line, the season will test the entire operational backbone behind delivery and monetization. For AdOps and RevOps teams, the year-end surge is no longer a short and predictable window around Thanksgiving.

Instrument Jenkins With OpenTelemetry

You can instrument Jenkins with OpenTelemetry using the official plugin and an OpenTelemetry Collector, then send the data to a backend like Last9 to understand where pipeline latency and failures actually originate.

OpenTelemetry fills that gap by emitting traces, metrics, and logs in a standard format that any OTLP-compatible backend can process.
