Last week, I described several approaches to #OpenTelemetry on the JVM, their requirements, and their different results. This week, I want to highlight several #gotchas found across stacks in the zero-code instrumentation.

You may know I’m a big fan of #OpenTelemetry. I recently finished developing a master class for the YOW! conference at the end of the year. During development, I noticed massive differences in configuration and results across programming languages. Even worse, differences exist across frameworks inside the same programming language.
In this post, I want to compare the different zero-code OpenTelemetry approaches on the #JVM, covering the most widespread.
Tracing the Mind of Your AI: Java Observability with Quarkus and LangChain4j
Instrument, trace, and monitor your AI-powered Java apps using local LLMs, Ollama, and OpenTelemetry with zero boilerplate.

Any thoughts about the #OpenTelemetry stack? I wonder if it + Grafana (OTel Collector + Loki) would be a viable self-hosted solution for a (most likely) small-scale commercial software project. The client-side implementation would be through #Python.

@nblumhardt Look, #JetBrainsRider learned a new #OpenTelemetry trick and it works pretty well with #SeriLog
I wish there would be a similar @seq plugin for Rider that would just spin up a local dev Seq instance for me and sow the logs directly in the IDE.

My obsession with #MCP servers continues. And like many of my obsessions, I love finding ways in which they intersect with other obsessions (hello, #Observability). I decided to leverage the #Dynatrace MCP server to use natural language to query #OpenTelemetry data in Dynatrace. End result? Well, you’ll need to read the blog post!
