AppSignal has extended its application performance monitoring platform to provide native support for OpenTelemetry, an open source framework for instrumenting applications that is being advanced under the auspices of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Wes Oudshoorn, chief product officer for AppSignal, said the implementation of OpenTelemetry is designed to enable DevOps teams with a […]
CNCF Brings Jaegar and OpenTelemetry Closer Together to Improve Observability
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has made available an update to its Jaeger distributed tracing project that now makes use of OpenTelemetry agent software to collect data.
Honeycomb Extends Observability Reach to Front Ends of Applications
Honeycomb has made available an extension to its observability platform that provides the ability to analyze front ends of applications.
OpenTelemetry Isn’t the Hero We Need: Here’s Why it’s Failing our Stack
OpenTelemetry promised to be a unified standard that would make it easier for everyone to collect and correlate traces, logs and metrics from distributed systems. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, here is the hard truth: OpenTelemetry is only satisfactory. When I compare it to deeper tracing technologies such as eBPF, OpenTelemetry feels bloated, inefficient, […]
The Future of Observability: How OpenTelemetry is Shaping IT Operations in the Age of AI
OpenTelemetry (OTel) is going to do for IT operations what open-source software originally did for application development.
vFunction Adds Real-Time Observability and GenAI Tool to Modernization Platform
vFunction, the AI-driven architectural observability platform today added real-time observability and GenAI assistant. vFunction today added an ability to observe IT architectures in real-time to a platform that automatically converts monolithic application code into a set of microservices. In addition, vFunction has added a generative artificial intelligence (AI) assistant that identifies issues and surfaces recommendations […]
Embrace Adds Support for OpenTelemetry to Instrument Mobile Applications
Embrace revealed today it is adding support for open source OpenTelemetry agent software to its software development kits (SDKs) that enable observability of iOS and Android applications. Andrew Tunall, head of product for Embrace, said that as more DevOps teams standardize on OpenTelemetry to collect telemetry data from applications, there is a growing requirement for […]
How to Migrate an Observability Platform to Open Source
