Key benefits

Get to grips with OpenTelemetry, an open-source cloud-native software observability standard

Use vendor-neutral tools to instrument applications to produce better telemetry and improve observability

Understand how telemetry data can be correlated and interpreted to understand distributed systems

Description

Cloud-Native Observability with OpenTelemetry is a guide to helping you look for answers to questions about your applications. This book teaches you how to produce telemetry from your applications using an open standard to retain control of data. OpenTelemetry provides the tools necessary for you to gain visibility into the performance of your services. It allows you to instrument your application code through vendor-neutral APIs, libraries and tools. By reading Cloud-Native Observability with OpenTelemetry, you’ll learn about the concepts and signals of OpenTelemetry - traces, metrics, and logs. You’ll practice producing telemetry for these signals by configuring and instrumenting a distributed cloud-native application using the OpenTelemetry API. The book also guides you through deploying the collector, as well as telemetry backends necessary to help you understand what to do with the data once it's emitted. You’ll look at various examples of how to identify application performance issues through telemetry. By analyzing telemetry, you’ll also be able to better understand how an observable application can improve the software development life cycle. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with OpenTelemetry, be able to instrument services using the OpenTelemetry API to produce distributed traces, metrics and logs, and more.

Who is this book for?

This book is for software engineers, library authors, and systems operators looking to better understand their infrastructure, services and applications by leveraging telemetry data like never before. Working knowledge of Python programming is assumed for the example applications that you’ll be building and instrumenting using the OpenTelemetry API and SDK. Some familiarity with Go programming, Linux, and Docker is preferable to help you set up additional components in various examples throughout the book.

Phillip Carter May 31, 2022

I really enjoyed the book overall. If you're new to OpenTelemetry and you're trying to use it to get Observability into your systems, get this book right now!The book covers all of the essentials: the main concepts, how to set up tracing/metrics/logs with the SDK, best practices for generating data, setting up and using different features of the OpenTelemetry Collector, strategies for deploying the collector in production, and an overview of Sampling strategies. In time, the OpenTelemetry documentation may be comprehensive enough to obviate the contents of this book. But until then, get this book! It might take a while before that happens.The highlights for me were:* The succinct yet complete overview of the OpenTelemetry collector* Best practices around generating telemetry data (in particular, how to set up Resources and what kinds of stuff you'd like to capture)* Really all of Section 2* Overview of the different major concepts (tracing/metrics/logs signals, semantic conventions, etc.)The areas I felt could improve:* Spending time on history of the project felt unnecessary to me, even though I can see why it would be added. As someone who came into OpenTelemetry and Observability in Summer of 2021, I feel like the only thing I need to know is that there's some legacy stuff called OpenTracing and OpenCensus and if I run into it, OpenTelemetry lets me interoperate with it. But otherwise, I'd rather not spend time learning about these older projects when I'm looking to learn OpenTelemetry instead* Second 2 had several chapters showing manual instrumentation, and had a sort of coup de grace with the autoinstrumentation. I can understand why that particular decision was made, but I feel like it could have also been inverted: lead with autoinstrumentation and how powerful it is, then enrich what's generated on my behalf. This is perhaps more of a philosophical point than anything else.I've been working in and around OpenTelemetry since Fall 2021, and it's been difficult to comprehend due to its vastness and lack of documentation. This book was very helpful, and I learned a lot from it, even though I've been contributing to OpenTelemetry for a few months.I'll reiterate my first point: if you are new to OpenTelemetry and you're trying to use it, get this book now! You won't find a better, more comprehensive guide.

This book has a good primer on how the industry has reached the point it has with telemetry and tracing. Then dives into the specifics of open telemetry. If you're just getting started, I think this is a good place to start.

Amazon Customer Oct 13, 2023

best books ever read on Observability.

Matt W May 10, 2022

OpenTelemetry is becoming the go-to standard for open source, vendor neutral observability. The vast ecosystem of tools is both powerful and flexible once you can get past the learning curve. This is the most up to date and comprehensive book on the topic and it will prepare you with all the knowledge you need to put OpenTelemetry to use in your organization.
