  • Tracetest in Action: Running Trace-Based Tests on the OpenTelemetry Demo App with Nomad
    11 projects | dev.to | 28 Feb 2023
    Tracetest came out in May 2022, and I first got my hands on Tracetest back in June 2022, so it was still pretty fresh! At the time, it integrated only with Jaeger. More specifically, it used the Jaeger API to pull OTel Traces from Jaeger to register them into Tracetest. You then used the UI to create trace-based tests.
  • How to Convert Kubernetes Manifests into Nomad Jobspecs
    8 projects | dev.to | 19 Dec 2022
    Ever since I started exploring Nomad, one of the things that I’ve enjoyed doing is taking Docker Compose files and Kubernetes manifests, and translating them into HashiCorp Nomad jobspec. I did it for Temporal back in March 2022, and also for an early version of Tracetest, back in the summer of 2022.

    Examples and the tutorial in this blog post use the OpenTelemetry Astronomy Shop Demo to show what you can do with OpenTelemetry and New Relic. This application is built and maintained by the OpenTelemetry open-source community, and it provides a real-world example of a distributed application that’s been instrumented with OpenTelemetry. In the Deploying the OpenTelemetry Astronomy Shop demo app section, you’ll have an opportunity to get hands-on experience spinning up your own version of this application. You’ll learn how to:

  • Tracetest in Action: Running Trace-Based Tests on the OpenTelemetry Demo App with Nomad

    I got to play around with these newer features last December, after a months-long hiatus, and it was really cool to see the evolution of the product. If you follow my work, you’ll know that I play in both the Kubernetes and Nomad worlds. Today, I’ll be taking you on a quick little guided tour of Tracetest, using Traces from the OpenTelemetry Demo App to give you a feel for how it works. The whole setup will be running on HashiCorp Nomad. \
  • Chaining API Tests to Handle Complex Distributed System Testing
    4 projects | dev.to | 8 Feb 2023
    ​ By having an observability infrastructure gather information about a set of API/microservices, we can have a concise view of the operation of these services and start thinking in an observability-driven way to test your software. ​ Tracetest can help. When given an API endpoint, Tracetest checks observability traces to see if this API is behaving as intended. ​ For example, let’s try to test an OpenTelemetry Astronomy Store which has the exact same use cases that we want to check. ​ To test the "Add product to the shopping cart" task, we can create a test, define a URL and payload in the trigger section that we send to the Cart API and use the specs to define our assertions, checking if the API was called with the correct Product ID and if this product was persisted correctly. ​
  • How to Convert Kubernetes Manifests into Nomad Jobspecs
    8 projects | dev.to | 19 Dec 2022
    In my latest Nomadification Project (TM), I got the OpenTelemetry Demo App to run on Nomad (with HashiQube, of course). To do this, I used the OpenTelemetry Demo App Helm Chart as my guide. In doing this, and other Nomadifications, I realized that I’ve never gone through the process of explaining the conversion process from Kubernetes manifests to Nomad jobspecs.
  • Running the OpenTelemetry Demo App on HashiCorp Nomad

    Y’all...I’m so excited, because I finally got to work on an item on my tech bucket list. Last week, I began the process of translating OpenTelemetry (OTel) Demo App’s Helm Charts to HashiCorp Nomad job specs.
  • Frontend Overhaul of OTel Demo: Go to Next.js
    3 projects | dev.to | 2 Dec 2022
    One of the OpenTelemetry Project's many Special Interest Groups (SIG) is the OpenTelemetry Community Demo SIG which gives support to a set of instrumented backend microservices and a web frontend app that are primarily used to showcase how to instrument a distributed system using OpenTelemetry. The application's main focus is to demonstrate the implementation process to instrument an application no matter what programming language, platform, or operating system your team is using, as well as providing different approaching techniques (automatic and manual instrumentation, metrics, baggage). All of this while following the standards and conventions defined by the official OpenTelemetry Documentation. More about the specific requirements can be found here. At Tracetest, we have always focused on becoming part of and embracing the OpenTelemetry community. One of our goals this summer was to get more involved with a core OpenTelemetry project where we could provide a meaningful contribution. The OTel demo became the best match for achieving that goal as it would not only help the community, but we at Tracetest needed a good example to test and showcase what can be done with our tool. During the version 0.7 project cycle, we created two specific tickets to get us closer to the community and start looking for things to pick up:
