Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023: Highlights from Amsterdam
We focused on the observability ecosystem and took the time to interact with our friends from Lightstep, New Relic, Honeycomb, Dynatrace, Instana, and many more. With that in mind, keep an eye out for more integrations coming to Tracetest!

Observability - Types Of Vendor Pricing Models
In the last 5 to 10 years, new Observability vendors have entered the market, including Honeycomb, Instana, Lightstep and Datadog. Similarly, traditional APM vendors such as Dynatrace, AppDynamics, and New Relic, as well as SIEM (and log management) vendors such as Splunk and Sumo Logic, have joined them in the Observability space too. Finally you also have major cloud providers such as AWS with their own observability solution. Each of them is attempting to address the observability issues that modern architecture presents by using Logs, Metrics, Traces, and Events.

How does Dynatrace compare to Datadog, New Relic?
You're missing Instana. 😉
-
What's your preference for APM?
Instana works quite well.

Tips to prevent a serverless wreck
As an engineer, or someone responsible for monitoring a service, the best way to easily find and fix issues is through the use of observability and serverless monitoring tools rather than focusing on logs. Although AWS provide a service called AWS X-Ray for distributed tracing, there are better tools in the partner ecosystems such as those provided by Lumigo, Thundra, Instana and several others. For example, Lumigo provides some key benefits over X-Ray such as (thanks to Yan Cui for highlighting some of these):

Enhancing API Observability Series (Part 3): Tracing
When choosing distributed tracing tools, considerations include your technology stack, business requirements, and monitoring complexity. Zipkin, SkyWalking, and OpenTelemetry are popular distributed tracing solutions, each with its unique features.

The Road to GraphQL At Enterprise Scale
From the perspective of the realization of GraphQL infrastructure, the interesting direction is "Finding". How to find the problem? How to find the bottleneck of the system? Distributed Tracing System (DTS) will help answer this question. Distributed tracing is a method of observing requests as they propagate through distributed environments. In our scenario, we have dozens of subgraphs, gateway, and transport layer through which the request goes. We have several tools that can be used to detect the whole lifecycle of the request through the system, e.g. Jaeger, Zipkin or solutions that provided DTS as a part of the solution NewRelic.

Show HN: Uptrace – open-source APM (alternative to Datadog, NewRelic)
> IMO the reason these vendors can and do charge so much is not because telemetry software is hard.
I always saw it as "they are charging for their polished UI/experience"
The UI of https://zipkin.io/ versus DataDog is kind of... not really in the same ballpark?

Is there a beginners guide to adding observability to your applications?
There are the zipkin https://zipkin.io/ and jaeger https://www.jaegertracing.io/ packages/components you can use both have quickstarts if you consider that to be a beginner's guide.
