Open Source Summit + AI_dev Japan 2024

Developers often face the complex challenges of designing, debugging, and testing distributed systems like microservices. Understanding failures, identifying performance issues, and ensuring system reliability from the early stages of design and development can be daunting. Observability technologies provide valuable insights not just in production but also during design and development. In this session, we will explore OpenTelemetry, a cutting-edge observability framework, and its practical applications in the design, debugging, and testing of distributed systems. Key topics include: - Assessing the impact of incorporating a cache server on system behavior during the design phase. - Evaluating how database failures affect both backend and frontend applications during fault testing. - Detecting performance bottlenecks for specific requests during load testing. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how OpenTelemetry can revolutionize their debugging and testing processes, leading to more effective experiments and increased reliability in their distributed systems.
