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.

Taming the Multi-Headed Beast: Maintaining SDKs in Production for Years
Our first approach was to implement a separate SDK for each independent technology stack. We decided to use OpenTelemetry which is widely adopted and covers most of our needs.

On Implementation of Distributed Protocols
Distributed system administrators need mechanisms and tools for monitoring individual nodes in order to analyze the system and promptly detect anomalies. Developers also need effective mechanisms for analyzing, diagnosing issues, and identifying bugs in protocol implementations. Logging, tracing, and collecting metrics are common observability techniques to allow monitoring and obtaining diagnostic information from the system; most of the explored code bases use these techniques. OpenTelemetry and Prometheus are popular open-source monitoring solutions, which are used in many of the explored code bases.

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.

Beyond Code Completion: Better Prompt Context to Supercharge Your AI Coding Workflow
You can follow this process with any large token AI system like Claude by identifying tracing data relevant to the code you are working on, using it as context to prompt OpenAI or other LLMs. Generally, you’d generate tracing data by implementing OpenTelemetry (aka OTEL) libraries into your application, adding spans to your functions with Jaeger, or using commercial SaaS tools like Honeycomb and Datadog.

Open Telemetry: Observing and Monitoring Applications
While many programming languages provide robust support for Open Telemetry, this instance focuses on Golang. It's important to note that, in the current context, the logs SDK for Golang is not implemented. For future reference consult the list of supported languages and explore the Open Telemetry repositories. Always prioritize the main repository and its contrib repository, housing extensions and instrumentation libraries crucial to the Open Telemetry framework. Stay updated with the latest developments to ensure seamless integration and enhanced functionality.

Show HN: OneUptime – Self Hosted Open Source Datadog Alternative
OneUptime (https://github.com/oneuptime/oneuptime) is the open-source alternative to DataDog. It's 100% free and you can self-host it on your VM / server / cloud or you can use SaaS at https://oneuptime.com
NEW UPDATES (since we last posted to HN): We now support OpenTelemetry (https://opentelemetry.io/) natively which will help you to monitor, observe and debug any app, service, database or stack.

The Lord of Playwright: The Two Traces
OpenTelemetry is the fastest growing Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project. It standardizes the instrumentation and collection of traces, metrics, and logs from applications, and is supported by all the major observability projects, languages, and tools. One standard to rule them all!

Observabilidade de microsserviços com OpenTelemetry e Amazon OpenSearch [Lab Session]
OpenTelemetry is a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs. Use it to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces) to help you analyze your software’s performance and behavior. https://opentelemetry.io/

Sumo Logic and Tracetest: AI-Driven Observability Meets Testing
Tracetest uses your existing OpenTelemetry traces to power trace-based testing with assertions against your trace data at every point of the request transaction. You only need to point Tracetest to your existing trace data source, or send traces to Tracetest directly!

OpenTelemetry Is Too Complicated
VictoriaMetrics CTO here.
The referred library is the official OpenTelemetry package for reading metrics in Go language [1] - more details are available at [2].
Note that we at VictoriaMetrics like the idea of unified observability standard like OpenTelemetry. The issue is in the current otel implementation. It is too bloated and very inefficient. This contradicts to our experience with observability cases, which need very optimized format for metrics' transfer in order to reduce costs on CPU and network traffic needed to transfer and process these metrics.
VictoriaMetrics continues investing in OpenTelemetry by providing integration docs [3] and improving the existing functionality for otel metrics' ingestion [4].

Top 11 Grafana Alternatives in 2023
VictoriaMetrics is primarily a time-series database designed for efficiently storing and querying time-series data. It is often used as a back-end data store for time-series data generated by monitoring systems like Prometheus. VictoriaMetrics excels at handling large volumes of time-series data, offering efficient storage and query capabilities.

μMon: Stupid simple monitoring
Did you try VictoriaMetrics [1] and vmagent [2]? It is a single self-contained binary without external dependencies. It requires relatively low amounts of CPU, RAM, disk space and disk IO, and it runs on ARM.

If I understanding correctly, it deal with high cardinality by dropping data, the operators need to monitor for this and adjust their data to lower the cardinality.

OpenTelemetry in 2023
You shouldn't unless you want to use the new open source standard for telemetry. You won't benefit from simplicity or performance improvements. It would be quite the opposite. You can check what is the actual cost of open telemetry adoption here [0]
But if you ever decide to go this path - VictoriaMetrics supports OpenTelemetry protocol for metrics [1]
