Observability by Design: Leveraging OpenTelemetry Weaver to Take Control of Your Observability

This conference talk explores how to leverage OpenTelemetry Weaver to gain better control over observability in cloud native environments. Learn how this powerful tool, which powers OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions, can solve common observability challenges such as undocumented metric labels, broken dashboards after service upgrades, and inconsistent signal generation. Discover practical applications of OpenTelemetry Weaver including defining observability signals, automatically generating documentation and code, enforcing compatibility guarantees, and extending the tool for custom requirements. Presented by Josh Suereth from Google and Laurent Querel from F5, this 23-minute presentation provides valuable insights for developers and operators looking to implement observability by design in their cloud native systems.
