Embracing open telemetry for modern workloads on cloud.

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

In the realm of modern distributed architectures, traditional centralized approaches to diagnosing failures are no longer adequate. Microservices have ushered in an era where applications span numerous services across multiple hosts, making it challenging to pinpoint issues with a single stack trace. This session explores the necessity and implementation of end-to-end distributed tracing in such environments.


We delve into the critical need for comprehensive telemetry data that captures dependencies and relationships among diverse components, spanning various languages, frameworks, and infrastructure setups. Emphasizing OpenTelemetry as a pivotal standard, attendees will gain insights into how to effectively enable and leverage end-to-end tracing to enhance observability and streamline troubleshooting in contemporary cloud workloads.


This session is tailored for cloud enthusiasts eager to harness cutting-edge tracing technologies to optimize performance and reliability in their applications.
