The Importance of OpenTelemetry in Observability Strategy
Observability is crucial for understanding the internal state of a system based on its outputs. It enables organisations to identify trends, resolve issues, and monitor the overall health of a system architecture. The three pillars of observability – logs, metrics, and traces – work together to achieve this goal. OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open-source observability…

Building an Effective Observability Strategy
An effective observability strategy is vital for understanding the performance, health, and behavior of complex systems, especially within cloud-native and microservice architectures where applications are distributed and interconnected. This article explores the key steps in building a robust observability strategy, highlighting the essential role of OpenTelemetry. 1. Define Clear Objectives Start by defining what you…
