Embracing OpenTelemetry for Pipeline Resilience

Explore the evolution of monitoring into observability and learn how OpenTelemetry enhances pipeline resilience in this conference talk. Delve into the changing landscape of application development, understand the basics of tracing and metrics, and discover the power of in-stream data manipulation. Examine the history of telemetry data collection, project statistics, objectives, and components of OpenTelemetry. Gain insights into the collector components, architecture, and practical steps for getting started with traces (both manual and automatic) and metrics. Understand how observability helps detect, investigate, and resolve unknown issues quickly, and why Getting Data In (GDI) should not be the sole focus in modern monitoring approaches.
