For updates and more, join our community 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/company/devoxx-united-kingdom Distributed tracing is hot these days. It’s your way to understand how requests flow through your microservices and pinpoint where errors occur and where latency is coming from. OpenTelemetry is fast becoming the standard way to instrument applications and collect traces and other telemetry data from systems. On this talk we’ll see how easy it is to instrument Java apps using OpenTelemetry. We’ll see automatic instrumentation as well as manual instrumentation approaches, and discuss available integration with popular libraries, frameworks and application servers. Horovits is the author of the Guide to OpenTelemetry and is an avid speaker on the project as well as on open source and observability in general. Join the session to start your journey into distributed tracing on the right foot.
