OpenTelemetry is a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs. Use it to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data (metrics, logs, and traces) to help you analyze your software’s performance and behavior. Go here to learn more: https://opentelemetry.io/

OpenTelemetry shines when there are a lot of services communicating with each other. Getting started with OpenTelemetry can be a challenge as it requires a lot of knowledge. Having a high entry point effort, it seems like a good idea to set up a service mesh solution to produce our desired distributed traces. In this session, you will learn about the good, the bad, and the ugly of using service mesh tools (such as Istio) to generate traces as a replacement for OpenTelemetry. We will look into sampling, 3rd party services (e.g., DBs and message brokers), ease of implementation, visualization, and much more. By the end, you will be able to decide whether to use OpenTelemetry, these types of tools, or both.
