Introduction to OpenTelemetry
About this video
What You'll Learn
- Set up OpenTelemetry in a Go gRPC service by configuring the SDK, tracer provider, and initialization order.
- Trace gRPC requests with OpenTelemetry Go auto-instrumentation and add spans around application and database call flows.
- 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.
