You have made my life so easier. not a single video like this on CZcams who would have cleared distributed tracing to me in such concise manner. Kudos to you brother. Stay blessed.
Hi Marcel Thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge one more time. I ALWAYS learn a lot from your videos And about having another video deep diving into jaeger would be great! Thanks again!
This video was super helpful! The Open Telemetry docs have been frustratingly confusing to understand and try to auto instrument the whole world without telling me what it's actually doing.
This is the issue we are facing over on my team at work as well. We are trying to adopt opentelemetry to build an end-to-end observability and resource utilization metering solution with OTEL as the backbone for the whole solution. However, the docs really aren’t that great. I found it took us many POCs of small instrumentation on little APIs to learn the flow of things and how things work. But even then, the docs are much more centered on readers who know all this observability and monitoring jargon and niche. It’s not too helpful to new engineers. I am considering getting involved with the project and specifically trying to overhaul the docs.. that would be a cool challenge.
Anyone else in this comment section new to observability and/or OpenTelemetry? I think I’m starting to center my focus in my career around this area of software but still not sure.. I’d love to create community of newbies and experts alike.
Sometimes I feel like distribution of services like this adds complexity to the system for marginal benefit (different teams working on different apis) For example, why not make your playlists api and videos api monolithic and part of the same process/application?
This is the big microservice vs monolith debate. I've worked on both monolith and microservices and to be honest, it really depends on your architecture,team culture \ mindset on how you design these services. Microservices dont have to be micro or nano. a Microservice in my mind is not about the size of the service but having enough logic in there where it makes sense and defining clear boundaries. A big win in my experience is having a simplistic design with most traffic being top down (ingress to service) and not too much horizontal flows (service to service) communication. In my experience, at scale if done right, microservices can make teams insanely agile and pump out 30 - 100 deployments per day. Features can be deployed quickly, toggled on and off. You can have more people work on the platform not having to understand a large codebases, which boosts their confidence. For example, if Bob masters the videos API and understands its contract, he would be super confident to code on it without breaking other dependencies. There are a lot of wins with microservices, but in my experience it has to be done right, otherwise it can be unnecessarily complex, quite easily. And you're right, it can add a lot of complexity and there needs to be close architectural guidance to keep things as simple as possible.
@@MarcelDempers Hey, Thanks for that input.. I absolutely agree that you would need very good architectural process so things dont go haywire LOL. Yeah, I'm learning as I progress my career that a lot of times, the simplest solution wins simply because it's easy to maintain and won't cause headaches in the future LOL. Anyways, have a great day !!
@@MarcelDempers How would contracts and api be maintained among microservices? And how to track dependancies between microservices? There should be some open standards for maintaining services catalouges, contracts and dependancy graphes. Have you came across such thing in your career ?
How can get user journey from frontend to backend? I can get traces from react and nodejs but could not link it. Is jaeger good to view journeys? Plz suggest any other tool
Hello Marcel, Thanks for the nice explanation. One quick question, Can we implement context propagation using opentelemetry collector/agent of third party (e.g. Forgerock IDAM suite) product logs to Splunk or NewRelic dashboard for monitoring and analysis. Here, the third party application (ForgeRock) is not using the opentelemetry API/SDKs to handle the context propagation headers that OpenTelemetry recognizes. Please provide some example/sample reference. Thanks a lot.
I rarely ever comment on YT but I just had to let you know how thorough, easy to follow and informative your video is.
+1 His videos are super super clear and helpful
Dude, where have you been all my life. This is the best explanation of Observability I have even seen! TY TY TY soooo much!
You have made my life so easier. not a single video like this on CZcams who would have cleared distributed tracing to me in such concise manner. Kudos to you brother. Stay blessed.
This was the best video to get an understanding of tracing and instrumentation. Thank you very much!
Hi Marcel
Thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge one more time. I ALWAYS learn a lot from your videos
And about having another video deep diving into jaeger would be great! Thanks again!
Jaeger would be awesome!
Excellent video. Congrats, Marcel.
And please, feed more with Jaeger videos. THankss
Very underrated channel. This deserves lot many subscribers and followers. Thanks a lot.
Sir, I really glad to hear your clearly speech. Its really important to me as not native English speaker.
Let me say this: Less nonsense and 100% sense.
Crisp, clear and relatable.

So crisp and thorugh!! Love it!
Hi, thanks for the effort and sharing. Looking forward to more in-depth videos about openTelemetry.
Great content, content density. Not going to get this from reading any blog. Thanks
fantastic lesson. Great editing, illustrations, sound mix and the way things are explained.
subscribed!
Excellent production, great content from a technical perspective. Thanks!
Thank you for your explanation. You’re God sent.
Thanks for a great explanation of tracing and how it's implemented, much appreciated!! 🤝
Thank you very much! (From Brazil)
This was amazing! Thank you for the time and effort you put into this.
Woah! thanks for the detailed explanation
great explanation, thanks! It's really helps me to undestand what tracing is.
Great introduction into how OpenTracing works and how to instrument your code.
Thank you for creating such valuable resources.
Great video. A lots of userful information, very well organized and prepared and all this in less than 30 mins. Thanks a lot!
Thanks! Very helpful one. Better than 100 pages doc!
Nice! I've been waiting for this one ;)
Thank you for this!
Loves your video and hopefully topic jaeger will be on the fly soon
So nicely explained and awesome example too , kudos!
Very clean and to the point. Awesome 👏👏👏 explanation
This is amazing tutorial, kudo
This is really cool. If you implement it in python specifically with grpc, it would be really really helpful and appreciated.
GOD, i repeat, you are god. What quality!
Very informative! Very good! Could you also do Jaeger deep dive? Would really appreciate it.Thanks!
Cool video tutorials, I deeply understood the concept for tracing.. if u have this projects in Java, please do share. Thanks dude 👍
Good and informative
I've probably never wrote a youtube comment but here we are, you are awesome!
🙏🏼
Excellent ! Thank you .
thanks a lot =)
Very useful
Catch an exclusive interview with Binance’s CEO to get the scoop on future developments
nice explanation, thank you
Great Content and Succinct information. Subscribed.
Good sir, could you please do a Jaeger introduction video when you get some time ? This video is great for beginners!
Great video! Can you also do a Datadog APM walkthrough?
Thank you
Great video, thanks!
Peace!
Thanks Marcel!
Thanks Marcel

Can we get the javascript files and method name details in tracing in a non node.js app?
YesJaeger video please!
How can get user journey from frontend to backend?

Is jaeger good to view journeys? Plz suggest any other tool
Really informative thanks! But is there no other way than to manually add soans everywhere? I'd love that to happen automatically...
those arms!!!

Hi Marcel, Thanks a lot for sharing the videos, great information and the explanation too. How can we do the same tracing using Kubernetes ?
Awesome video!
Do you think that tracing will overtake logging?
Thanks for the kind words 💪🏽
Definitely not, since they have two entirely different goals.
Like first, watch after ;)
Is there a way to auto instrument angular application using opentelemetry? Please help!!
have you got an example, similar to this, in Python?
What is your VSCode theme ?
In the video its Amethyst Dark, but latest is Reloaded Dark
great!
awsome. how do you generate the ASCII Diagram on readme files?
💪🏽 asciiflow.com
It it requires adding a ctx parameter to each function that needs to be traced , its not going to happen.
Anyone manage to achieve this in .net?
aaa my eyes are hurt
👍👌👌👌
