Explore the transformative impact of OpenTelemetry (OTEL) on wasmCloud, a CNCF sandbox application runtime for WebAssembly workloads, in this 32-minute conference talk. Discover how implementing tracing across platform components significantly improved wasmCloud's distributed computing capabilities. Learn about the challenges faced in implementation and the benefits of behind-the-scenes tracing for developers. Gain insights into wasmCloud's host architecture, composable actors, and lattice network. Understand the complexities of modern computing environments and how OTEL enhances distributed WebAssembly. Delve into the future developments and potential applications of this technology in cloud-native and edge computing scenarios.
