Getting Started with OpenTelemetry in Javascript with Express and React

OpenTelemetry is an open source framework that provides a single set of APIs, libraries and instrumentation resources to capture distributed traces and metrics from your applications.

This workshop is structured to help your organization successfully deliver value from distributed tracing. During the session we'll cover:

• A brief history of OpenTelemetry and distributed tracing
• How to get instrumented with OpenTelemetry in under 10 minutes
• Common distributed tracing use cases and why they are the foundation for observability
• Best practices and common pitfalls for distributed tracing
• How to prepare to roll out OpenTelemetry across your organization
