Overview

Build practical observability skills with OpenTelemetry. OpenTelemetry in Practice is a hands-on guide to designing and implementing modern observability in real software systems. It explains how to use traces, metrics, logs, context propagation, and collector pipelines to understand application behavior and troubleshoot production issues effectively. This book is written for software engineers, SREs, platform engineers, architects, and technical leaders who want to move beyond theory and apply OpenTelemetry in production environments. In this book, you will learn how to: - understand the OpenTelemetry architecture and core building blocks - instrument applications and services for meaningful telemetry - work with traces, metrics, and logs together - use context propagation and correlation across distributed systems - design and operate OpenTelemetry Collector pipelines - export telemetry to observability backends - troubleshoot performance, latency, and reliability issues - apply sampling and telemetry controls in production - use OpenTelemetry in microservices and Kubernetes environments - avoid common implementation mistakes OpenTelemetry has become a key standard for modern observability. This book helps you use it in a practical, implementation-focused way so that you can build better visibility into your systems and respond faster to real operational problems. If you work on cloud-native applications, distributed systems, or platform engineering initiatives, this book will help you apply OpenTelemetry with clarity and confidence.
