Instrument Your Native Spring Boot and Quarkus Applications with OpenTelemetry

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Shows building native Spring Boot and Quarkus apps as GraalVM native images using Docker multi-stage builds, instrumenting them with OpenTelemetry Java libraries and a custom Azure Application Insights exporter (since OTLP isn’t yet supported on Azure). Demonstrates live that startup times fall to ~500 ms for Spring native and ~100 ms for Quarkus native, and that end-to-end traces capture HTTP spans and Postgres queries across services; recommends sampling at 1–10% and provides code and demos on GitHub.
