Observing Golang: OpenTelemetry from Code to Prod (in-person and virtual)

We are excited to meet in-person once again at SPS Tower! Real people and real pizza, what a combo! We want to continue to make our meetups virtually accessible and engaging for those who wish to attend remotely. Please reference "Public Safety Guidelines" below the agenda for details on attending in-person.

Join us for "Observing Golang: OpenTelemetry from Code to Prod", presented by Roni Dover, CTO and Co-Founder at Digma. Roni will be presenting remotely.

Continuous Feedback is an emerging practice that strives to make observability and OTEL (OpenTelemetry) more relevant and accessible to developers. We will discuss OTEL and Continuous Feedback and look at practical examples in which observability can be beneficial to developers in everyday coding as a part of their stack. We'll also look at some example projects with specific examples.
