Lightning Talk: Application Security Through the Lens of OpenTelemetry
recording made private on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/kthA1WcCD9U
summary
Built an open source product API Clarity that lists exposed APIs, flags differences from docs, and detects attacks by installing a gateway trace plug-in and a controller inside the customer Kubernetes cluster; initially used custom trace formats then adds an OpenTelemetry collector to convert OT traces to the proprietary format. To get parameters the pipeline extends OpenTelemetry to include the request body in traces, enabling security insights with no per-gateway plugin for many gateways.
