Book Description: In this book, we will explore the concept of OpenTelemetry, which is a set of open-source APIs and tools that provide visibility into the performance and behavior of modern software systems. We will delve into the process of setting up and operating a modern observability system using OpenTelemetry, and discuss how it can help organizations gain insights into their systems' performance and health. The book covers topics such as instrumentation, data collection, and visualization, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of how to implement an effective observability system. The Need for Modern Observability Systems As technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, it has become increasingly important for organizations to have a clear understanding of their systems' performance and behavior. With the rise of microservices, containerization, and cloud computing, modern software systems are becoming more complex and distributed, making it difficult to monitor and diagnose issues without proper observability tools. This is where OpenTelemetry comes in – it provides a standardized way of collecting and analyzing data from these systems, allowing organizations to gain valuable insights into their performance and health. The Possibility of Developing a Personal Paradigm However, simply implementing OpenTelemetry is not enough. To truly understand the technological process and its impact on society, we need to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological evolution of modern knowledge. This means recognizing the interconnectedness of technology and society, and understanding how they shape each other.
