Adding Observability to .NET Microservices on EKS with ADOT Auto-Instrumentation and Helm
Introduction This post walks you through the process of adding telemetry to your .NET applications running on Kubernetes using AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) to gain observability into your applications, which allows you to find and fix operational issues quickly. ADOT uses OpenTelemetry, an open-source, vendor-neutral observability framework that standardizes how you instrument applications to […]
Developing Custom Processors using OpenTelemetry in .NET 8
Introduction In the ever developing landscape of modern software development, observability has emerged as a crucial aspect of building and maintaining robust applications. OpenTelemetry, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project, provides a vendor-neutral set of APIs, libraries, and tools for generating and managing telemetry data, including metrics, logs, and traces. One of the powerful […]
.NET Observability with OpenTelemetry – Part 1: Metrics using Amazon Managed Prometheus and Grafana
Microservice architectures, while modular and scalable, introduce complexity in observability due to the distributed nature of services. This often leads to a proliferation of inter-service communication paths and dependencies. It is not uncommon for solutions to have microservices interacting with each other, native cloud services, and partner solutions. In distributed microservice architectures, developers face the […]
