What is APM Tracing?

Sep 3, 2025 By Faiz Shaikh In Last9
APM tracing records the complete execution path of a request as it travels through your system, including database queries, external API calls, cache lookups, message queue events, and inter-service requests. Each step is captured with precise start and end timestamps, duration, and context such as service name, operation name, and relevant attributes. This lets you pinpoint where latency or errors originate without piecing together metrics and logs manually.

A Single Hub for Telemetry: OpenTelemetry Gateway

Sep 1, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
The OpenTelemetry Gateway (OTel Gateway) is a centralized service that collects, processes, and routes telemetry data—metrics, traces, and logs—across your infrastructure. In a typical setup, each service pushes telemetry directly to an observability backend. While this approach works well for small environments, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage as systems grow.

How should Prometheus handle OpenTelemetry resource attributes?

Aug 28, 2025 By Victoria Nduka In Grafana
Note: A version of this post originally appeared on the OpenTelemetry blog. Victoria Nduka is user experience designer and open source contributor making her way into the cloud native space. She writes about design, accessibility, and open source with the same curiosity she brings to her work. On May 29, I wrapped up my mentorship with Prometheus through the Linux Foundation mentorship program.

OpenTelemetry API vs SDK: Understanding the Architecture

Aug 25, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
When you're instrumenting applications with OpenTelemetry, you'll encounter two core components: the API and the SDK. The API defines what telemetry data looks like and how it is created, while the SDK handles how that data is processed and exported. Understanding this split helps you build more maintainable observability and avoid tight coupling between your business logic and telemetry infrastructure.
