Did OpenTelemetry deliver on its promise in 2023?
I mean, sure, you can improve performance a bit by increasing the RAM/compute capacity on the Lambda. But it always adds a pretty steep overhead right now, no matter how much capacity you throw at it.

Serverless Spy Vs. Spy Chapter 3: X-Ray vs Jaeger - Send Lambda traces with open telemetry
With the sample apps from the opentelemetry-lambda repository the Lambda part itself was easy to implement. What took me some time was to provide the jaeger Fargate service with IaC ouside of an k8s environment. But with ECS and ServiceDiscovery that was easy in the end. This should be even more simple in an EKS environment with the jaegertracing helm-charts.

AWS Lambda tracing with OpenTelemetry and OpenSearch
OpenTelemetry recently released https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-lambda, but they also have this in the official docs https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/js/serverless/. What do you consider to be the better option?

How to Instrument AWS Services with OpenTelemetry
You don’t have to create an opentelemetry configuration file such as this for each of your lambdas. In fact, you shouldn’t. In AWS, you can use Lambda Layers. You can define the OpenTelemetry tracing piece of code as a Lambda layer and use it in any Lambda you want. Furthermore, OpenTelemetry went ahead and implemented this opentelemetry-lambda layer for us. All we need to do is use it with our config.

Struggling to connect the dots - ADOT with Lambda using aws-otel-nodejs Lambda layer, not sure how to go from here to using custom instrumentation (e.g. instrumentation-pg, instrumentation-graphql, etc).
Sorry you're having trouble working with the ADOT Lambda Layers :(. Have you had a chance to open an issue on the GitHub repo for OTel Lambda or ADOT Lambda? You should add your expected vs your actual output!

OpenTelemetry in 2023
Grafana Tempo also switched from Protobuf storage format to Apache Parquet last year. It's fully open source, and the proposal is here: https://github.com/grafana/tempo/blob/main/docs/design-propo...
disclosure: I work for Grafana!

Monitoring and Testing Cloud Native APIs with Grafana
By combining Grafana Tempo with Tracetest, you can create a robust solution for monitoring and testing APIs with distributed tracing.

Introducing Tempo: low latency, cross-platform, end-to-end typesafe APIs
Last point: There's already a major open source project in the backend space called Tempo. You may want to reconsider the name.

Waffles, Fries, Beer and Developers; Notes from FOSDEM 2023
I started the day with some Rust and spent the rest of the day in the Monitoring and Observability DevRoom. Most of the talks I attended were about OpenTelemetry and were very Grafana Labs-heavy. I knew Grafana and, to a less extent, Loki, and I had never seen Tempo (distributed tracing) and Phlare (profiling), and Mimir (backend for metrics, more backend-y than Prometheus?).

Thoughts on Opentelemetry?
Grafana Tempo yes. Integrates seamlessly with Grafana (the dashboarding)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing opentelemetry-lambda and tempo you can also consider the following projects:
proposal-async-context - Async Context for JavaScript
jaeger - CNCF Jaeger, a Distributed Tracing Platform
deploy-aws-lambda-to-vpc-with-terraform - Terraform module with all the cloud resources needed to run Lambda within a VPC
tempo - 🥁 Don't miss a beat. Real-time, end-to-end typesafe APIs.
terraform-aws-jaeger - Terraform module for Jeager
mimir - Grafana Mimir provides horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant, long-term storage for Prometheus.
