Maximizing Kubernetes Efficiency with OpenTelemetry Tracing

https://opentelemetry.io/?utm_source=thenewstack&utm_medium=website&utm_content=inline-mention&utm_campaign=platform is an open source observability framework that provides a set of APIs and libraries for collecting, processing and exporting telemetry data such as traces, metrics and logs. It allows developers to instrument their applications with minimal overhead and provides a standardized way of collecting and exporting telemetry data.

https://thenewstack.io/how-opentelemetry-works-with-kubernetes/ tracing can provide a powerful solution by collecting detailed data on request execution and providing visibility into the entire system.

Once the Collector is installed, you need to configure it to collect traces from your applications and send them to your preferred tracing backend.

Use the trace data collected by OpenTelemetry to monitor your application’s performance regularly; analyze the data to identify areas for improvement.
