But how do you use it effectively, how should you set things up, what spans or activities should you create, how should you name them? In this talk we'll cover: * Codeless instrumentation for Logs, Metrics and Tracing * Getting automatic spans and metrics from popular libraries * What application context is important in your observability * Different setup techniques * Using OpenTelemetry in messaging systems like Azure ServiceBus and Kafka * How to export your telemetry signals to an Free OpenSource backend * How K8s can make observability simpler This will be a talk about best practices, tips and tricks for getting the most out of OpenTelemetry.
