    When using Hono, you can leverage Fiberplane's client library, which instruments the application based on OpenTelemetry. This allows you to use Fiberplane Studio, which not only displays your endpoints and helps you make requests or replay your webhook but also captures the call chain (traces) among different integrations.
  • Monitoring Browser Applications with OpenTelemetry
    1 project | dev.to | 5 Sep 2024
    Many development teams leverage OpenTelemetry (OTeL) on the server side to collect signals such as logs, traces, and metrics from their applications. However, what's often overlooked is the power of OTeL's browser instrumentation. This client-side observability data can provide meaningful insights and create a comprehensive view of an application's performance by connecting traces between the client and server.

    This is where things get complicated. Implementing such a system is a lot of work, and you should rely on upcoming standards like the W3C recommendation on trace contexts. You should rely on a standard because they solve two major pain points with observability: (1) they have popular implementations like OpenTelemetry (OTel) – which happens to be the second most active CNCF project to this day – and (2) they are widely adopted by major observability backends (e.g., Datadog).

    I'm not quite sure how to place this. For general app telemetry there's https://opentelemetry.io and for tracking user behavior similar to how it's explained in your docs it looks like https://segment.io would be the closest competitor.

    How is telemetry.sh different from the above-mentioned?

    Bruno from Inngest here, thanks for asking!

    In general, we use OpenTelemetry[1] for instrumenting our services in production, collecting metrics and logs for important events. Specifically, we have set up

    - multiple dashboards informing us about current system usage (events received, processed) including e2e latency distributions, compute resource usage for different deployments, and top operations

    - metrics on critical systems (data stores including Redis, messaging infrastructure, connection poolers for Postgres, etc.) to gauge current resource utilization and typical load patterns

    - alerting on unexpected deviations in KPIs (a subset of the metrics above) to help us spot and react to issues quickly

    - forecasting on product usage and compute resource utilization patterns for planning medium to long-term infrastructure work

    Hope this helps!

  • OpenTelemetry Metrics meets Azure
    2 projects | dev.to | 20 Jul 2024
    OpenTelemetry is the future of observability. It is being pushed by Google, Microsoft and Amazon to provide a vendor-neutral solution for traces, metrics and logs. The OpenTelemetry API implementation is available for many programming languages. I will only use metrics and the implementation for the language C# for this tutorial. Let's see how far apart reality and desire are.
