LightStep VS OpenCensus

We focused on the observability ecosystem and took the time to interact with our friends from Lightstep, New Relic, Honeycomb, Dynatrace, Instana, and many more. With that in mind, keep an eye out for more integrations coming to Tracetest! - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

Lightstep bills itself as a platform for the reliability of cloud-native applications. The people behind Lightstep co-founded OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing, which gives them a unique perspective on the use cases of distributed tracing and the value of having a vendor-neutral tracing data format. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

In the last 5 to 10 years, new Observability vendors have entered the market, including Honeycomb, Instana, Lightstep and Datadog. Similarly, traditional APM vendors such as Dynatrace, AppDynamics, and New Relic, as well as SIEM (and log management) vendors such as Splunk and Sumo Logic, have joined them in the Observability space too. Finally you also have major cloud providers such as AWS with their own... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

I spent Day 2 at the Colony Club to attend OTel Unplugged. This event was sponsored by Lightstep, Honeycomb, New Relic, Splunk, Dynatrace, Crowdstrike, and NGINX. I came into the event not knowing what to expect. I can sometimes clamp up when I’m around folks that I don’t know, but because I was helping with the event check-in, I got to say hello to a number of the attendees, which helped break the ice. And it... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

First of all, let's start with the basics. There are some important concepts to be clarified before we dive into the OpenTelemetry world. The vast majority of the naming conventions and concepts are from projects and papers that inspired OpenTelemetry, such as OpenTracing, OpenCensus and Dapper. - Source: dev.to / 26 days ago

OpenTelemetry it's a result from the merge of two important projects that are now archived: OpenTracing and OpenCensus. The project is incubated in Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and has a strong community behind it. The CNCF is part of the Linux Foundation and hosts critical components of the global technology infrastructure, including Kubernetes and Prometheus. Currently, OpenTelemetry is the second... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

OpenTelemetry was born from the merger of two other standards that decided to unify forces instead of competing with each other; these projects were OpenTracing and OpenCensus. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

At incident.io we use gorm.io as the ORM library for our Postgres database, it's a really powerful tool and one I'm very glad for after years of working with hand-rolled SQL in Go & Postgres apps. You may have seen from our other blog posts that we're heavily invested in tracing, specifically with Google Cloud Tracing via OpenCensus libraries. A huge amount of our application's time is spent talking to Postgres... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
