Introduction to OpenTelemetry

§ Overview

About this video

What You'll Learn

  1. Set up OpenTelemetry in a Go gRPC service by configuring the SDK, tracer provider, and initialization order.
  2. Trace gRPC requests with OpenTelemetry Go auto-instrumentation and add spans around application and database call flows.
  3. Export traces to stdout for local debugging and to Honeycomb, then inspect and enrich spans with custom attributes.

Amy Tobey and Liz Fong-Jones join David to instrument a Go gRPC service (Tinkerbell) with OpenTelemetry from scratch, wiring up the SDK, a stdout exporter, a Honeycomb exporter, custom attributes, and database spans.
