Enhancing Asynchronous Communication Observability with OpenTelemetry

Learn how to improve observability in asynchronous messaging systems through this 23-minute conference talk from Microsoft's Liudmila Molkova and SigNoz's Shivanshu Raj Shrivastava. Explore how the OpenTelemetry community standardizes semantic conventions for correlating telemetry data across various messaging systems like Kafka and RabbitMQ. Through practical demonstrations, discover solutions to common challenges in async messaging observability, including message flow tracing, metrics-traces correlation, and capacity planning. Master context propagation within queues and gain hands-on insights into implementing effective instrumentation for both simple and complex asynchronous messaging scenarios, ultimately transforming the traditionally opaque end-to-end visibility into a clear, manageable system.
