Latest Top 13 Distributed Tracing Tools [perfect for microservices]

Modern digital organizations have rapidly adopted microservices-based architecture for their applications. Distributed tracing tools help monitor microservices-based applications. Choosing the right distributed tracing tool is critical. How do you know which is the right one for you? In this post, we will cover the top 13 distributed tracing tools in 2024 that can solve your monitoring and observability needs.

Choosing an OpenTelemetry backend - Things To Keep In Mind

OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) incubating project aimed at standardizing the way we instrument applications for generating telemetry data(logs, metrics, and traces). However, OpenTelemetry does not provide storage and visualization for the collected telemetry data. And that’s where an OpenTelemetry backend is needed. Cloud computing and containerization made deploying and scaling applications easier.

How Can OpenTelemetry Transform Your Cloud Native Observability Strategy? Insights from Sudhir Singh

Join Sudhir Singh, co-founder and COO of Cloud Builders, as he delves into the essentials of observability in the cloud-native landscape. In this session, Sudhir explores the advantages of implementing OpenTelemetry over traditional monitoring tools and vendor-specific solutions. Discover why OpenTelemetry is crucial for gaining comprehensive insights into your applications and infrastructure, learn about its role in enhancing system health monitoring, and understand its impact on mitigating potential incidents before they escalate.

OpenTelemetry: The Key To Unified Telemetry Data

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source framework designed to standardize and automate telemetry data collection, enabling you to collect, process, and distribute telemetry data from your system across vendors. Telemetry data is traditionally in disparate formats, and OTel serves as a universal standard to support data management and portability.

Centralized Logging with Open Source Tools - OpenTelemetry and SigNoz

Modern-day software systems emit millions of log lines per minute. Cloud computing and containerization have made it easy to have distributed systems. Distributed systems emit logs from multiple sources. While developers have always used logs to debug stand-alone applications, centralized logging solves the challenges of modern-day distributed software systems.
