• Taming the Multi-Headed Beast: Maintaining SDKs in Production for Years

  Our first approach was to implement a separate SDK for each independent technology stack. We decided to use OpenTelemetry which is widely adopted and covers most of our needs. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• On Implementation of Distributed Protocols

  Distributed system administrators need mechanisms and tools for monitoring individual nodes in order to analyze the system and promptly detect anomalies. Developers also need effective mechanisms for analyzing, diagnosing issues, and identifying bugs in protocol implementations. Logging, tracing, and collecting metrics are common observability techniques to allow monitoring and obtaining diagnostic information... - Source: dev.to / 23 days ago

• Enhancing API Observability Series (Part 3): Tracing

  When choosing distributed tracing tools, considerations include your technology stack, business requirements, and monitoring complexity. Zipkin, SkyWalking, and OpenTelemetry are popular distributed tracing solutions, each with its unique features. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Beyond Code Completion: Better Prompt Context to Supercharge Your AI Coding Workflow

  You can follow this process with any large token AI system like Claude by identifying tracing data relevant to the code you are working on, using it as context to prompt OpenAI or other LLMs. Generally, you’d generate tracing data by implementing OpenTelemetry (aka OTEL) libraries into your application, adding spans to your functions with Jaeger, or using commercial SaaS tools like Honeycomb and Datadog. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Show HN: OneUptime – Self Hosted Open Source Datadog Alternative

  OneUptime (https://github.com/oneuptime/oneuptime) is the open-source alternative to DataDog. It's 100% free and you can self-host it on your VM / server / cloud or you can use SaaS at https://oneuptime.com NEW UPDATES (since we last posted to HN): We now support OpenTelemetry (https://opentelemetry.io/) natively which will help you to monitor, observe and debug any app, service, database or stack. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Send the logs of your Shuttle-powered backend to Datadog

  Ideally, if we had access to the underlying infrastructure, we could probably install the Datadog Agent and configure it to send our logs directly to Datadog, or even use AWS Lambda functions or Azure Event Hub + Azure Functions in case we were facing some specific cloud scenarios. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• I wanted a self hosted alternative to Atlassian status page so I build my own application !

  Currently supported : Datadog, Jenkins, DNS, HTTP. Source: over 1 year ago

• Datadog on Kubernetes: Avoiding Common Pitfalls

  Datadog is a powerful monitoring and security platform that gives you visibility into end-to-end traces, application metrics, logs, and infrastructure. While Datadog has great documentation on their Kubernetes integration, we've observed that there's some missed nuance that leads to common pitfalls. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• Post-DockerCon spam

  .. Is to see you email address being silently distributed to every single company that I've watched a talk from. And now suddenly get several promotional spam emails per day from some 4-5 different domains like instana.com, datadoghq.com, snyk.io, cockroachlabs.com (some of them send even multiple emails per day!).

• Never write a UserService again

  We're commonly doing this with logging, using services such as Loggly or DataDog. We're using managed databases, be it on AWS, Heroku or database-vendor-specific solutions. We're storing binaries on S3. Externalising user authentication and authorization might be a good candidate as well. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
