How to shift observability left by designing systems around structured logs, distributed traces, and meaningful metrics from the start, enabling faster debugging and reducing incident response time in complex distributed architectures.
Implement distributed tracing across microservices using OpenTelemetry, with practical examples of context propagation, span creation, sampling strategies, and trace analysis that turn opaque distributed systems into debuggable ones.
Set up a complete observability stack with Prometheus metrics, structured JSON logging, and OpenTelemetry distributed tracing using practical examples that show how each signal connects to enable effective production debugging.
Build production-grade distributed tracing infrastructure with OpenTelemetry, covering context propagation, sampling strategies, trace storage backends, correlation with logs and metrics, and cardinality management at scale.
A hands-on guide to instrumenting Node.js applications with OpenTelemetry — covering traces, metrics, and logs with auto-instrumentation, custom spans, context propagation, and exporter configuration.
When a request touches five services, logs from each one are useless in isolation — distributed tracing ties them together with trace IDs, spans, and context propagation.
