Coding with the Lights On - OpenTelemetry from Code to Production

Explore the concept of Continuous Feedback, a new development practice addressing gaps in the dev-to-prod cycle, in this 20-minute DevSecCon talk. Learn how to leverage OpenTelemetry, open-source tools, and platforms to challenge code assumptions and develop for real-world requirements using evidence-based methods. Discover practical techniques to extend code ownership to production and beyond, using observability for more than just creating dashboards. Gain insights into combining tools and practices to create a Continuous Feedback pipeline, improving code quality and impacting the development process. Suitable for developers and DevOps practitioners interested in effectively utilizing current observability technologies, the talk covers topics such as instrumenting applications, working with spans, analyzing error hotspots, and exploring the future of OpenTelemetry.
