jest-opentelemetry VS odigos

Jest-opentelemetry was created out of a pain that @galklm and I felt when working on complex systems with multiple side effects, some of which happen asynchronously. People were changing the code of different services frequently, but weren't always aware of the dependencies across the system. So often, things would break - resulting in us up at 4am debugging the issue and reverting some recent deployments.

(Adding here our repo - https://github.com/traceloop/jest-opentelemetry, although this honestly doesn't mean to be a self-promoting post. I'm actually looking for honest feedback).

Welcome 👋 to this blog. Did you want to use odigos on your Ubuntu machine but don't know how to start? Then this blog will definitely help you and it also helps you to understand the basic aspect of the odigos project.

Many comments complain about the complexity of using OpenTelemetry, I recommend checking out Odigos, an open-source project which makes working with OpenTelemetry much easier: https://github.com/keyval-dev/odigos

We combine OpenTelemetry and eBPF to instantly generate distributed traces without any code changes.

Hi, sure here is the link to Odigos: https://github.com/keyval-dev/odigos We do not replace Grafana or any other monitoring vendor. We build them a better pipeline with higher quality signals (distributed tracing). They still do the visualization, it will just display better information.
