Bootiful OpenTelemetry [Workshop]

Philipp Krenn - Elastic

Your Spring Boot application is running. You are ready to deploy it to production. But you are missing observability in your application. How do you fix that and can you do it in 2 hours? Yes, and let’s see how with OpenTelemetry — the de-facto standard for collecting telemetry data.

With the running application we cover:

• Traces, metrics, and logs as our telemetry events.
• Manual and auto-instrumentation with OTel for Spring Boot and Java.
• Sending all data to the OTel Collector and processing it there.
• Forwarding it to a backend; the free Elastic Stack in this scenario but it could be any other vendor as well.
