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.

Did OpenTelemetry deliver on its promise in 2023?
As an example, Exemplars are part of the metrics spec [1]. The official python library says metrics status is 'stable' [2]. But there's an approximately 2-year old issue with no work on it, titled 'Metrics: Add support for exemplars', where the latest update is that no work has begun [3]. Nothing at a top-level of the opentelemetry-python project indicates that the project does not implement everything in the metrics spec, so if you wanted to use that capability, you are apt to discover it relatively late.

What existing libraries are there for implementing Kubernetes liveness and readiness probes?
Unfortunately, I have not seen any modern libraries that can match the features offered by the archived library. However, there are similar libraries that could be used, such as https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python which provides health checks and metrics. Additionally, you could use Prometheus libraries such as https://github.com/prometheus/client\_python to get similar metrics. However, both of these libraries might require some modification to get the desired features

Auto-Instrumentation Is Magic: Using OpenTelemetry Python with Lightstep
We need to force a specific version of protobuf because of Launcher compatibility issues with newer versions. This was already fixed in opentelemetry-python.

Honeycomb, Python, and I: an OpenTelemetry Horror Story (With a Happy Ending)
I spent a huge amount of time - maybe 6 hours - digging into the problem. I was flipping back and forth between honeycomb's docs, the open telemetry docs, and the open telemetry python repo digging through issues.

OpenTelemetry in 2023
> OpenTelemetry is a marketing-driven project, designed by committee, implemented naively and inefficiently, and guided by the primary goal of allowing Fortune X00 CTOs to tick off some boxes on their strategy roadmap documents.
I'm the founder of highlight.io. On the consumer side as a company, we've seen a lot of value of from OTEL; we've used it to build out language support for quite a few customers at this point, and the community is very receptive.
Here's an example of us putting up a change: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/pull/4049
Do you mind sharing why you think no-one should be using it? Some reasoning would be nice.

OpenObserve: Elasticsearch/Datadog alternative in Rust.. 140x lower storage cost
That's traces? I was wondering if I could use https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/tree/main...

OpenObserve: Open source Elasticsearch/Datadog/Splunk alternative in Rust for logs. 140x lower storage cost
Nothing like Faro for now. However, https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js can be used to achieve the same result and OpenObserve has great support for Opentelemetry.

Logs and tracing: not just for production, local development too
4. Register automatic instrumentations. For example, you can automatically trace all XHR requests, fetch requests, page loads, and user interactions. With distributed tracing, you should always prefer automatic instrumentation whenever possible to reduce maintenance and leverage existing conventions. The document load instrumentation allows you to treat the server as the parent span to a given page load, from which the client will then be the root span to everything in the server. This is an extremely powerful concept that allows traces to viewed from the perspective of the user, encapsulating all requests and user interactions in a single trace with no manual instrumentation!
We also trialed Sentry's APM tool (also marketed as a distributed tracing tool). While it had pretty charts, dashboards, niceties like core web vitals, and integrated well with Sentry's error product, its utility as a distributed tracing tool is significantly less powerful than tools like Honeycomb. You will end up using a large amount of your user's bandwidth sending telemetry data that can't fully be leveraged in the Sentry UI. When I last used (in April 2021), the spans of a given trace could only be viewed in a specific part the UI and they couldn't be searched for in queries or used in charts. I'm unsure if this has been updated. But this is not the worse part. Because Sentry uses its own data model for traces, it is not compatible with open source standards such as OpenTelemetry or OpenTracing! The sales team will not tell you this during the trial. This means our entire backend, which was already instrumented with OpenTracing, would now also need to instrument Sentry's tracing (...if they supported the language) in order to connect frontend traces to backend traces. Each team I met with their sales team, I said the same thing: support OpenTelemetry, otherwise you are asking for us to further isolate our backend and frontend teams.
It looks like they have heard this opinion, as they have recently published a blog post about the evolution of the distributed tracing API, citing incompatibility with OpenTelemetry due to their data model. It will require a very large change for them to support this. Meanwhile, OpenTelemetry can be used with any tracing vendor, a large number of languages, the other major instrumentation standards (OpenTracing, OpenCensus), and any trace propagation format.

Monitoring consumer lag in Azure Event Hub
Consumer lag will quickly show any functional or technical issue with your event stream. By using the code examples from this blogpost, you can avoid having to dive into the SDKs yourself. Of course, you can adopt the metric collection to send the metric to the logs or to another metrics system like prometheus, datadog, or open telemetry.

Any good tutorial showing you which library to use for dependency injection in a project?
I would work on getting Open Telemetry pointed at an βall-in-oneβ Jaegar instance and move on from there: https://www.jaegertracing.io/docs/1.25/getting-started/ https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js Various cloud providers may have a way to collect/view traces as well, but, Jaegar and the Open Telemetry Collector are the open source way to do that. The projects are in the process of converging in some ways β everything is in flux.
