You MUST Instrument Your Code With OpenTelemetry (OTEL)!

Ғылым және технология

If we want to gain insights into application behavior, we MUST instrument our code. However, instrumenting code can take time and effort and so we better do it in a way that avoids being locked into any specific tool. That's where OpenTelemetry comes in with its instrumentation standard, independent of the tools where logs, metrics, and traces are collected.

    Thanks for the content, Viktor. Would love to see a trilogy of videos on 1. the otel instrumentation needed to get red metrics, such that one can answer health questions 2. instrument more rich spans around the places where metrics are instrumented and unlock answering questions about change. 3. wrap it up with trying to answer health and change questions in various backends (garafana, datadog, honeycomb).

    You mentioned several times that we should use OpenTelemetry to be able to switch one observability solution to another. I remember a time, when people had the same argument for ORMs, which allegedly allow to switch database, but give you least common API. So you kinda exchange part of features to possibility of changing database/observability solution. Maybe in some cases a Datadog agent is not that bad, especially if we consider that observability consist of several parts (agents, collectors, storage backend, UI and so on, and one vendor could integrate these parts better, than common solution).

    Many other attempts to standardize something failed because of the lack of support. Having a standard that is not implemented by many is not very useful. OpenTelemetry, however, is one of the few "standards" that managed to rally everyone. Almost every vendor or a project in the observability space supports it or is working on the support (including Datadog). Something similar happened to Kubernetes API a bit earlier (almost everyone gathered behind it). So, OpenTelemetry is different than others due to the size of its adoption and contributions coming from vendors and projects. As a counter example, we have OAM (Open Application Model) for which I had high hopes but which failed to convince a significant percentage of the industry to adopt it.

    One more thing... I don't care much about agents. They can be OpenTelemetry or anything else since there is almost no work involved in switching from one to the other. What I do care is what we use to instrument our code since that represents invesment (mainly in time).

    Datadog supports otel pretty well but it works much better with the agent. Same with New Relic, Instana, splunk and most of the hosted services out there. It's how the softly push you in to vendor lock in to make it less appealing to switch away.

    @@davehoffman515 That follows typical stages of adoption of standards. 1. We will not support this. Our stuff is better and we have the competitive edge. 2. We have to support this because others are supporting it and prospects are asking for it, but we will not make it as good as our own stuff. 3. We have to support it well because our customers do not want to use our own API. They are leaving because they do not want to be locked in. Most vendors are in the phase 2 right now, and will be moving towards the phase 3 soon. P.S. Most attempts to standardize something never pass the phase 1 and eventually die. OpenTelemetry managed to get to the phase 2 thus (probably) securing its future.

    OpenTelemetry does not replace any specific tool or, to be more precise, does not have to replace anything. It's mostly focused on standardizing the API that other tools might use and instrumenting your code with that API.

    I must NOT ask my app vendors to do additional coding (plus maintaining it) that will cost for "emit" when that application consumed unless consumer is really needed that if and when. Or stick with git-driven config change enforcement for enabling those information elements that will steer app to ship that that to a remote server via pull or push rather, some stuff we inherit from legacy not necessarily bad but optimized over ages of operational experience and cost for it.
