Open Source Instrumentation - The Rise of OpenTelemetry
summary
OpenTelemetry is a CNCF project that already ranks second in popularity and supplies more than a third of the telemetry seen in New Relic. The demo deploys a GCP online boutique on Kubernetes, wires language SDKs and an OpenTelemetry collector with receivers processors and exporters, scrapes host metrics like CPU, and adds manual spans and attributes to a Go shipping service so order_id and transaction_id appear in traces. Tail-based sampling cuts trace volume, anomalous spans and log correlation surface errors, and telemetry flows successfully into the backend.
