OpenTelemetry for Python: The Hard Way
6 projects | dev.to | 20 Sep 2022

Note: Although the OpenTelemetry documentation does provide some insight into how to do manual context propagation in Python, the documentation needs a little work. I’m actually part of the OpenTelemetry Comms SIG, so I am using this as motivation to improve the docs around this topic…stay tuned for updates to the OTel docs too! 😎

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).
3 projects | /r/OpenTelemetry | 15 Jul 2022

I've also checked out this sample project / instrumentation, but comparing this to the description in the article I linked to above leaves me even more confused. For example, in the article linked above it says In order to send trace data to AWS X-Ray via the ADOT Collector, you must configure the X-Ray ID generator, X-Ray propagator, and collector gRPC exporter on the global tracer provider., but in the sample app there is no mention of / use of OTLPTraceExporter. So it's not clear to me if the article is missing something, or the sample code is missing something, etc, etc.
