Modern Observability and Event Driven Architectures
summary
A C#/JavaScript pizza shop demo is built and instrumented with OpenTelemetry, Honeycomb, Azure Service Bus, Kafka and .NET channels to prove that tracing reveals runtime choreography — a bug only appears when traces are added and is fixed. The talk shows use of W3C Trace Context (traceparent/tracestate), sampling, the semantic conventions, Weaver for naming, span links to split gigatraces, and how curated custom instrumentation (YAML, Docker examples) turns noisy logs into actionable business insights.
