Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

    Grafana Traces is a fully managed cloud service from Grafana and part of its “LGTM stack,” which also includes logs, visualizations, and metrics. Grafana is best known for the open-source query/visualization/alerting project of the same name, which is often used as the visualization back end for both commercial and open-source observability stacks.

  • opentelemetry-examples

    Example code and resources for working with OpenTelemetry, provided by Lightstep

    Lightstep bills itself as a platform for the reliability of cloud-native applications. The people behind Lightstep co-founded OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing, which gives them a unique perspective on the use cases of distributed tracing and the value of having a vendor-neutral tracing data format.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • tracetest

    🔭 Tracetest - Build integration and end-to-end tests in minutes, instead of days, using OpenTelemetry and trace-based testing.

    As soon as you start instrumenting your applications with OpenTelemetry, be sure to give Tracetest a try to immediately maximize the value you get from collecting and storing tracing data. And if you like the concepts of trace-based testing or observability-driven development, be sure to trace us down on Discord or GitHub to see what we’re working on next. You might as well give us a star too!
