Context Propagation makes OpenTelemetry awesome

#OpenTelemetry #observability #tracing #metrics #logs #architecture #tutorial #tedsuo

Context Propagation is a fundamental part of OpenTelemetry's architecture. Tracing, metrics, and logs all make use of it. In part one of this series, we'll cover the problem that Context Propagation solves, and an overview of how it works.

Live!! On May 6th, deep dive into OTel, Erlang, and CICD with Tedsuo (me) and Bryan Naegele from Simplebet. There's a Q&A, come say hi!

Very crisp and clear explanation. Easy to understand. Thanks!

I've come back to your videos over and over again over the last few years. They are super well done.

Looking to get into OTEL, and this was a great well paced intro. Sub'd, and looking for more!

[ScottMooreConsultingLLC]

Well done video and well explained. Thank you!

Is there a good practice for correlation with Netflow or packet capture data? For example, maybe a community id to correlation id?

Can you provide golang code to construct context from the headers.
In my case the second service is a pub/sub subscriber service

Hi Ted, nice explanation. How one should approach open tracing and open telemetry and how exactly these to are different/similar?

Hey Ted, great video! Looking forward to the up coming ones. I have a question on using AWS Lambda + Open Telemetry. As far as I know, Lambda supports OpenTelemetry via Lambda layers, doesnt this mean I could use B3?

Hello Ted, Thanks for the quick explanation. I am just curious, is it possible to use the open-telemetry as a log/trace collector of third party product (e.g. Forgerock IDAM suite) logs in which, any of opentelemetry API or SDK is NOT used? We want to push the (ForgeRock OpenAM, OpenIDM and OpenIG) product logs in Splunk using OpenTelemetry (as log collector) and monitor them on Splunk dashboard. Is it doable? Also, could you please suggest if opentelemetry can support context propagation in such integration (with third party product) where no API/SDK is injected in the product?

I like the video
I hope you will now know that I found it interesting

Hi Ted! Awesome video! Thank you for doing this! Are the remaining videos out yet? Where can I find them?

Wouldn't the size of the http headers blow up if you keep passing along the entire context all the time? Seems unnecessary
