Cloud-Native Observability with OpenTelemetry: Learn to gain visibility into systems by combining tracing, metrics, and logging with OpenTelemetry

Cloud-Native Observability with OpenTelemetry is a guide to helping you look for answers to questions about your applications. This book teaches you how to produce telemetry from your applications using an open standard to retain control of data. OpenTelemetry provides the tools necessary for you to gain visibility into the performance of your services. It allows you to instrument your application code through vendor-neutral APIs, libraries and tools.
By reading Cloud-Native Observability with OpenTelemetry, you’ll learn about the concepts and signals of OpenTelemetry - traces, metrics, and logs. You’ll practice producing telemetry for these signals by configuring and instrumenting a distributed cloud-native application using the OpenTelemetry API. The book also guides you through deploying the collector, as well as telemetry backends necessary to help you understand what to do with the data once it's emitted. You’ll look at various examples of how to identify application performance issues through telemetry. By analyzing telemetry, you’ll also be able to better understand how an observable application can improve the software development life cycle.
By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with OpenTelemetry, be able to instrument services using the OpenTelemetry API to produce distributed traces, metrics and logs, and more.

About the Author

Alex Boten is a senior staff software engineer that has spent the last ten years helping organizations adapt to a cloud-native landscape. From building core network infrastructure to client mobile applications and everything in between, Alex has first-hand knowledge of how difficult troubleshooting distributed applications is. This led him to the domain of observability and to contributing to related open source projects.

An approver and maintainer in several OpenTelemetry projects, Alex has helped implement and evolve the project from its early days in 2019 into the massive community effort that it is today. Alex has contributed to the Python and Go OpenTelemetry implementations, as well as to the specification and the collector projects.

More than anything, Alex by codeboten on Twitter loves making sense of the technology around us and sharing his learnings with others.
