Increasing environmental complexity makes understanding performance issues and debugging incredibly hard, making collecting data for analysis even more difficult. Often, data is siloed, thus lacking actionable information. With logs, metrics, and tracing data living in different places, how do we get this mashup of disparate data together? OpenTelemetry creates and collects telemetry data from services and software, then forwards that data to a variety of analysis tools, providing end-to-end observability to speed up performance troubleshooting. In this session, we introduce OpenTelemetry and show you how to get started with popular distributed tracing tools like Jaeger, Zipkin, AWS X-Ray, and Splunk.
