Maximizing Observability in Cloud-Native Architecture: The Role of OpenTelemetry

Cloud-native architecture involves breaking down software components into smaller, loosely coupled applications known as microservices. While this approach can effectively address scalability issues in the cloud, it can also introduce greater complexity. Identifying the root cause of a microservice failure can be challenging if there is not enough data available. As such, a well-designed cloud-native system should incorporate logs, metrics, and traces to facilitate effective root cause analysis. OpenTelemetry offers simple and effective tools for implementing observability in a cloud-native environment. In this session, Monalisha Singh will guide you through the three key pillars of observability, namely; logs, metrics, and traces, and show you how to implement them in your application using Golang.
