From Zero Observability to Zero-Code Observability with OpenTelemetry
Observability is key for running workloads in production. Without insights into your application’s behavior, you’re flying blind. In this workshop, you will learn how you can instrument an application without adding code, using OpenTelemetry’s powerful no-code instrumentation capabilities.
We will start with an overview of Open Telemetry, its key concepts, and capabilities, before diving into the practical part: Instrumenting a demo application, collecting metrics, logs, traces, and profiles, and deploying it to production. Once deployed, we will observe its behavior, build dashboards in Grafana, and touch on additional concepts.
No prior knowledge of OpenTelemetry is needed – we will go from zero observability to a well-established, standardized observability stack through bite-sized labs and spontaneous experimentation with what’s possible.
