Observing the Future: Embracing OpenTelemetry in WebAssembly

Explore how WebAssembly integrates with OpenTelemetry (OTEL) in this technical conference talk from CNCF, where Victor Adossi of Cosmonic demonstrates the implementation of observability features in wasmCloud. Learn about achieving the complete OTEL trifecta - traces, metrics, and logs - in distributed WebAssembly applications, including a groundbreaking approach to automatic instrumentation for both applications and backing services. Watch a live demonstration showcasing the tracing capabilities across globally distributed applications written in various programming languages and their connections to different backend services, while understanding the benefits and challenges encountered during the OTEL implementation process in wasmCloud.
